Abstract
Understanding the relationship between land use and nonpoint pollution is essential for effective watershed management. The effects of individual land use types on nonpoint pollution are fairly well understood, but there is a lack of understanding of the combined effects of individual land use types within a watershed on nonpoint pollution. This thesis attempts to develop a relationship between the major types of land use within watersheds and the instream concentrations of pollutants which could be used to determine how land use change affects nonpoint pollution and the instream water quality of receiving streams.
