Abstract

The objective of this research is to understand the relationship between low stream flows during droughts and their impact on water quality. The area chosen for this study is the Cedarville sub-watershed that drains into Massie Creek, a tributary to the Little Miami River, Ohio. By using stream flow and water quality data collected from the Massie Creek in Ohio, we will be able to study the impact of droughts on water quality.
