“…Because complete cross‐sectional mixing does not occur until farther downstream from the monitoring site, both rivers maintain separate and distinct flows on opposite sides of the channel at this site. The Pompton River drainage basin begins in the state of New York and overlaps both the Highlands and Piedmont physiographic provinces draining an area of 919 km 2 (Spitz, ) (Figure a). Tributaries to the Pompton River include the Pequannock, Wanaque, and Ramapo Rivers.…”

The U.S. Geological Survey's New Jersey and Iowa Water Science Centers deployed ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometric sensors at water‐quality monitoring sites on the Passaic and Pompton Rivers at Two Bridges, New Jersey, on Toms River at Toms River, New Jersey, and on the North Raccoon River near Jefferson, Iowa to continuously measure in‐stream nitrate plus nitrite as nitrogen (NO3 + NO2) concentrations in conjunction with continuous stream flow measurements. Statistical analysis of NO3 + NO2 vs. stream discharge during storm events found statistically significant links between land use types and sampling site with the normalized area and rotational direction of NO3 + NO2‐stream discharge (N‐Q) hysteresis patterns. Statistically significant relations were also found between the normalized area of a hysteresis pattern and several flow parameters as well as the normalized area adjusted for rotational direction and minimum NO3 + NO2 concentrations. The mean normalized hysteresis area for forested land use was smaller than that of urban and agricultural land uses. The hysteresis rotational direction of the agricultural land use was opposite of that of the urban and undeveloped land uses. An r2 of 0.81 for the relation between the minimum normalized NO3 + NO2 concentration during a storm vs. the normalized NO3 + NO2 concentration at peak flow suggested that dilution was the dominant process controlling NO3 + NO2 concentrations over the course of most storm events.

“…However, the effects of infrastructure or complex overland flow typically need to be considered for complicated hydraulic investigation. For example, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed a one-dimensional river flow and water quality model (Spitz 2007) into a twodimensional model for hydraulic processes requiring detailed hydraulic information.…”
