Murdoch, P S

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the chemical effects of atmospherically derived acidity on stream water in Biscuit Brook and to compare the effects of stormflows on the annual chemical budgets with the effects of base flow. This report summarizes the results of water-quality analyses and chemical budgets on Biscuit Brook during water years 1984 and 1985, and assesses the relation between discharge and stream chemistry during 14 storms observed from April 1983 through May 1986 at Biscuit Brook.
