Book excerpt: The deterioration of Lake Erie water quality over the last two decades, despite improvements that occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s, has caused an increasing trend in the presence of harmful algal blooms. In this study, changes in the relationship between weather and water and nutrient discharges over time are investigated for the Maumee and Sandusky watersheds, using extensive historical data in statistical models that relate water discharge (flow) and nutrient concentrations to lagged-precipitation and temperature, seasonality, and annual fixed-effects.
