Nutrient concentrations in streams are higher during baseflow, indicating pollution from nonpoint sources. By studying 56 sites in Arkansas, researchers found that high baseflow concentrations are linked to elevated runoff concentrations. This suggests that monitoring baseflow can help target areas for managing nonpoint-source pollution effectively.
