Identifying feasible nonpoint source pollutant sampling intervals for watersheds with paddy field and urban land uses

Monitoring provides data and information necessary for water quality assessment, but often it is prohibitive, especially when frequent sampling is required. In this study, we explored feasible sampling intervals for improved efficiency of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution assessment. We compared NPS p...
