In 1972, the US Geological Survey (USGS) devised a study to make a detailed accounting of water quality in the large rivers of North Carolina at key locations. The three major goals of the Large Rivers Study are: definition of variation in water quality; determination of pollution loads in streams; and determination of trends in water quality. This series of documents includes all of the reports produced in the Large Rivers Study in the sequence that they were written. In this volume, Chapter A describes in detail the initial design and philosophy of the USGS water quality program in North Carolina. Specific methodologies for the estimation of baseline water quality, pollution, and the evaluation of trends in water quality discussed in Chapter A are applied and refined in subsequent chapters that present water quality assessments of individual large rivers. Chapter B elaborates on the methodology used in estimating baseline water quality, and presents the results of a statewide baseline survey. Chapter C presents water quality assessments of the French Broad River, while Chapter D presents water quality assessments of the Neuse River. Separate papers are processed for inclusion in the appropriate data bases.
