The following tasks will be performed to meet the project objectives.
Task 1: Develop list of stream sites for potential evaluation
Potential stream study sites will be based on those that have both a USGS continuous streamflow gage and also are sampled through the NCDENR DWQ ambient water-quality program or USGS project activities. The focus will be on active USGS and NC DWQ stream sites that have sufficient data during the past 5 to 10 years for use in determining streamflow characteristics, percent base flows, and nutrient loadings. A list of potential sites to be included in the study is presented in table 1.
Task 2: Compile and process streamflow data
For each study site selected in Task 1, stream-flow data for the 5-10 year study period will be compiled from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database and processed to determine annual streamflow characteristics for use in statistical correlations with nutrient loadings. Hydrograph separations will be performed on the data to determine the amount of base flow, or percent contribution of the annual stream flow derived from groundwater discharge.
Task 3: Compile and process water-quality data
DWQ will provide nutrient data for each of the ambient monitoring stations paired with a USGS stream-gage site. Monthly water-quality data for the past 5 to 10 years will be combined with the streamflow data (task 2) to compute total nitrogen, total nitrate, and total phosphorus loads at each stream study site. At selected sites, part of the analysis will be to determine if the total in-stream nutrient loads can be separated into that derived from both baseflow (groundwater discharge) and from overland runoff.
Task 4: Compile watershed characteristics
Geographic Information System (GIS) information will be used to determine the types and extent of land use, based on 2001 data, within the drainage area of each stream study site. The density of riparian buffers bounding the streams in each study area also will be determined using GIS methods. The numbers and types of point sources (such as waste-water treatment plant discharges) and nonpoint sources (such as livestock feeding operations) will be compiled for each watershed and incorporated in the GIS datasets. These watershed variables will be used in statistical correlations with the stream nutrient loads to better understand those factors that most significantly influence nutrient export in NSW of eastern North Carolina.

Answer:
<h2>The Louisiana Purchase</h2>
<em>[You didn't show the map, but that's the probable answer.]</em>
Explanation:
President Thomas Jefferson commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida. When they went to France to negotiate, Monroe and Livingston found that Napoleon was ready to sell a much wider range of territory to the United States, to finance his European wars. Napoleon was asking $22 million for the whole territory that became the Louisiana Purchase. The US team negotiated the price down to $15 million.
Then there was a constitutional crisis back home: Did the President have the authority under the constitution to make such a major addition to the nation's territory and spend the nation's funds to do so? Jefferson himself initially thought a constitutional amendment might be necessary to authorize such a large action. Ultimately, Jefferson simply sought approval of the purchase from Congress. He used this analogy to describe what his administration was doing on behalf of the country: "“It is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; and saying to him when of age, I did this for your good."
"There were 2 main reasons:
<span>The Second Industrial Revolution created the need for a workforce in new factories,so many people moved from the countryside to the cities to find jobs in these factories.The effects of the depression of 1873-1896,which spread to America,further encouraged people to go to the cities to find work. </span>
<span>There was a long economic depression in Europe from 1873-1896,which encouraged many Europeans to emigrate to America.Most of these arrived at major port cities,and found jobs in factories so stayed there.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
When Rome had inflation, it was mainly because the emperor started to make coins out of tin instead of silver. ... This process in turn is one cause of inflation. It can start either due to high aggregate demand or due to supply shocks, such as an oil price hike.
In many ways cuz it so old and vague fr no cap
