Predictions of specific conductance and departures from background specific conductance in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, 1999-2016
Freshwater salinization is an emerging water quality issue for non-tidal streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed (CBW), USA region. A model was developed to predict specific conductance (SC; a proxy for salinity) conditions across the CBW and departures from background SC. Discrete observations of SC from …
