The primary differences <br /> <br />between the three watersheds were seen to be in the concentrations <br /> <br />of suspended solids, dissolved solids, dissolved silicon, and in <br /> <br />the dissolved inorganic nitrogen species (N03-N, N02-N, NH3-N). <br /> <br /> <br />Suspended solids were found to be an important factor in many of <br /> <br />33 <br /> <br />--- ~ <br />
