News Release U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Address Office of Communications 119 National Center Reston, VA 20192 Release December, 15, 2000 Contact Richard Alexander Butch Kinerney Phone Fax Airborne Nitrogen Contributes Pollution to U.S. Estuaries The study, published by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and to be released December 15, 2000, sheds new light on the role of the atmosphere as a source of pollutants to downstream estuaries. Nutrients, especially nitrogen, are needed to sustain the productivity of estuaries, but too much nitrogen causes the excessive growth of algae, bacteria and microscopic water animals known as zooplankton, depriving fish and plants of much-needed oxygen. A recent assessment by NOAA identified such problems in many U.S. estuaries especially in those along the Gulf of Mexico and Mid-Atlantic coasts. Until now, scientists have had incomplete information on the sources of nitrogen entering these estuaries. Beyond nitrogen contributions from agricultural and wastewater sources, it was unclear how much nitrogen came from other sources like cars, trucks and power plants because no comprehensive national studies had been done to quantify those contributions. Moreover, little was known about the amounts of airborne nitrogen that make their way to coastal streams and estuaries once the nitrogen is deposited in watersheds. "This study provides important new information about how coastal watersheds process atmospheric nitrogen and about the amounts of atmospheric nitrogen that enter estuaries," said Richard Alexander, a USGS hydrologist and expert on nutrients who co-authored the study. "There are important scientific and policy questions about the role of atmospheric nitrogen in causing coastal water-quality problems. This information can help local resource managers determine sources of nitrogen entering estuaries. This improved understanding of the links between air deposition of nitrogen and coastal water quality also leads to a better scientific basis for steps to minimize coastal pollution sources."

Search Home Data Bays and Estuaries Hydrology Data available through this web page represent fresh water inflows into Texas estuaries. Inflow summaries for the Sabine-Neches Estuary (Sabine Lake), Trinity-San Jacinto Estuary (Galveston Bay), Lavaca-Tres Palacios Estuary (Matagorda Bay), Guadalupe Estuary (San Antonio Bay), Mission- Aransas Estuary (Aransas Bay), and Nueces Estuary (Corpus Christi Bay) are currently available. Monthly and annual flow data beginning in 1941 are provided in these summaries. Freshwater inflow comes primarily from precipitation over each estuary's drainage basin. Runoff enters streams and rivers, makes its way to the mouth of each watershed, and eventually reaches the estuary. Along the way, some water is diverted for man's use. Diverted water that is not consumed can be returned to the streams. Flow from larger watersheds and important rivers is monitored by United States Geological Survey (USGS) stream gages. USGS stream gages have historically been located far upstream from the estuary to remove them from the influence of tidal variations in flow and water level. Downstream of these gages, between the gage and the point where the stream meets the estuary, streamflow is ungaged. In some estuaries, significant runoff originates in these ungaged areas. Total flow from drainage basin runoff is found by summing flows originating in both gaged and ungaged watersheds. Gaged flows are obtained from USGS streamflow records. Ungaged runoff is the sum of i) computed runoff, using a rainfall-runoff simulation model, based on precipitation over the watershed, ii) flow diverted from streams by municipal, industrial, agricultural, and other users, and iii) unconsumed flow returned to streams.

Home Search Checking The Condition Of Atlantic Slope Watersheds The population explosion along the coasts of the United States has put enormous pressure on estuarine ecosystems and their supporting watersheds. To develop the sound science required to monitor these important areas, EPA's STAR Grants Program developed the Estuarine and Great Lakes (EaGLe) program to conduct assessments along the Great Lakes, East Coast, West Coast and Gulf Coast. Researchers from Penn State's Environmental Resources Research Institute will lead a consortium in an integrated assessment of the watersheds and estuaries across the Atlantic Slope, an area that includes New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina. Natural scientists and social managers will join forces with environmental managers from the region to develop, test and apply a set of biological, chemical, physical and socioeconomic indicators to measure the health of wetlands, streams, rivers and estuaries in the region. Participants in the consortium include the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences, East Carolina University, Environmental Law Institute and FTN Associates.

Links Environmental Microbiology Introduction Research in environmental microbiology focuses on microorganisms and microbially-mediated processes that occur in estuaries and watersheds. These interests include the ecology of autochthonous bacteria and viruses in estuarine waters, emphasizing indicators of fecal contamination to assess health risk in shellfish growing and recreational marine waters and their application to identify sources of contamination within watersheds. The role of microorganisms in disease syndromes such as fish ulceration attributed to Pfiesteria or other causes and bivalve diseases are investigated. Research Research efforts evaluate the validity and ecology of microorganisms as indicators of sewage or fecal contamination and cultural, immunological, and molecular methods for their detection and enumeration. Other research interests include nitrification, microbial degradation of xenobiotic compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons, processes within watersheds that affect the microbial ecology of receiving waters, bacterial pathogens and disease processes of shellfish and finfish, and the ecology of naturally occurring viruses. Microbiological problems relevant to state and national interests and of regulatory or resource management significance are commonly addressed.
