Characteristics of chloride loading from urban and agricultural watersheds during storm and non-storm periods

The chloride ion (Cl−) can adversely affect an aquatic ecosystem, but it is not clear how Cl− moves with runoff and how its transport processes are related to land uses and land cover. This study investigated how the loading characteristics of Cl− vary depending on storm events and land cover in a t...
