Limitations of single water samples in representing mean water quality : III. Effect of variability in concentration measurements on estimates of nutrient loadings in the Squamish River, B.C. / P. Kleiber...: En36-503/103E-PDF

"An examination of the effect of variability in concentration measurements on estimates of nutrient loadings in the Squamish River and its tributaries has shown the limitations that result from the use of data derived from infrequent single grab samples. By the use of Monte Carlo techniques, the precision and accuracy of various measurement approaches were assessed. Correlations between discharge, measured continuously, and nutrient concentration, measured intermittently, provide a means of generating precise and accurate loading estimates"--Abstract, p. v.
