Abstract/Contents: | "Significant change in land use has occurred in the Little Kitten Creek watershed brought on by turning a native prairie into a championship golf course (Colbert Hills Golf Course, Manhattan, KS). An eight-year monitoring study was developed to assess the water quality changes in terms of total nitrogen and total phosphorus. The key observations and conclusions of the study were: The period having the worst water quality was during golf course construction. Sources of nutrients in stream during construction were soil erosion. During early operation, fertilizer was responsible for a spike of high nutrient concentrations in the stream. Nutrient concentrations in stream were greatly improved from construction period, however, still higher than the native prairie levels. Heavy storm events increased runoff, erosion, and nutrient transport at any stage." |
