Water Quality

The Minnesota River Basin Statistical Trend Analysis summarizes statistical trend modeling results for water quality monitoring sites across the Minnesota River Basin (Basin). Water quality data from 21 stream and river monitoring stations in the Basin were analyzed for trends using two different statistical tests-QWTREND and Seasonal Kendall. The stations are distributed throughout the Basin and vary in scale from the Minnesota River itself to smaller streams such as Chetomba Creek and the Little Cobb River.
