Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network 1985-2023: WRTDS output data

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 07:56 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 13, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed were calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network (NTN) stations for the period 1985 through 2023. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). Load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the NTN watersheds. The files containing all outputs generated by WRTDS for all applicable NTN monitoring stations are provided in the "Attached Files" section.
