Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. To determine if surface waters and their sediments associated with golf courses are contaminated by pesticides and/or fertilizers. 2. To develop the use of stream macroinvertebrates and their communities as long-term indicators of water quality." This two year study began in 1998. |

USGA Summary Points: | The most abundant types of invertebrates collected were members of the families Chironomidae (midge flies), Simuhidae (black flies), Hydropsychidae (net-spinning caddisflies), Elmidae (riffle beetles), and Capniidae (winter stone-flies). The overall analysis for taxa richness showed a significant increase in the number of taxa at sites downstream of the course. At downstream sites, nitrate concentrations were lower and phosphorus concentrations were the same as upstream sites. |
