Nutrient and sediment data collected by Federal and state agencies from 9172 through 1992 at 1,058 surface-water sites in nontidal parts of the Chesapeake Bay Basin were compiled into a large database. Adequate nutrient, sediment and streamflow data were not available to compute annual loads for all sites because water wuality monitoring at many of the sites was either short-term or noncontinuous or because steamflow was not measured.
