Summary

This tabular data set represents the mean rate of phosphorous from fertilizer and manure applied on agricultural land in 1997 compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data for mean rate of nitrogen from fertilizer and manure applied on agricultural land in 1997 was produced by Ruddy and others, (USGS, 2006). Units are kilogram per square kilometer. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream [...]

Purpose

This data set was created by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment Project (NAWQA) which is part of the USGS National Water Quality Program (NWQP). This effort was undertaken to estimate the mean rate of phosphorous application on agricultural land from Census of agriculture in 1997 for NHDPlusV2 flowline catchments and upstream river networks to support statistical analysis, map display, and model parameterization.
