[Water Resources Research, vol. 38, no. 8, August 2002]Table 1. Changes in discharge and chemistry at 2-3 points on the 8.3 km study reach of the Otter Tail River. [Site 1 is the furthest upstream site and Site 3 is the gage site shown in Figure 1. Discharge units are m3 s-1 and NO3- and Cl- are mmol L-1. Values reported as “0” were less than the detection limit.]
