National Nutrient Guidance Manual: Rivers and Streams
The Nutrient Criteria Technical Guidance Manual: Rivers and Streams is one in a series of water-body-specific documents that support the President's Clean Water Action Plan and the National Nutrient Strategy. The intent of this document is to provide States and Tribes with methods to assess water-body nutrient impairment and develop ecoregion-specific nutrient criteria. The Rivers and Streams document provides background information on classifying rivers and streams, selecting criteria variables, designing monitoring programs, building a database analyzing nutrient and algal data, deriving regional criteria, and implementing management practices.
