Water quality assessment of Clark Fork River in Idaho. Research technical completion report Item Info

The water quality of the Clark Fork River at Clark Fork, Idaho, was monitored from June 1984 to May 1985. The following water quality parameters were measured: dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, volatile suspended solids, alkalinity, ortho-phosphorus, nitrate-nitrogen, color, and hydrogen ion activity (pH). These data were combined with Environmental Protection Agency Water Quality trend data (1968-1984) for the same sampling station to determine the general water quality status of the Clark Fork River prior to its confluence with Lake Pend Oreille. The data from this study and EPA indicate point and non-point source loading of pollutants is occurring.
