Abstract Part II of this project attempts to: (1) Measure the forms and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in precipitation and land runoff for a series of Rhode River sub-watershed basins; (2) relate these data to water discharge in order to obtain area yield loading rates; (3) assess how these area yield loading rates vary seasonally and yearly; and (4) relate area yield loadings to the land use composition of the test basins and to land use practices in the basins. This study concludes that the annual average concentrations of total nitrogen and of total phosphorus in land runoff can be predicted by a simple statistical equation relating these concentrations to the percent of watershed in agricultural plus residential uses. Also, it was found that the same equations were equally valid for the whole of the eastern and midwestern United States if soil pH was included as a parameter. A close relationship between land use and runoff composition is documented. The appendix, forming the bulk of the report, provides tables of nutrient concentrations in precipitation and in runoff waters from seven test basins.
