Abstract

The Kenai Watershed Forum and several governmental agencies formed a cooperative partnership to collect and analyze water samples from 13 locations along the Kenai River mainstem and from eight of its tributaries every spring and summer from 2000 to 2023. Laboratory analysis was conducted on dissolved metals, total metals, nutrients, hydrocarbons, fecal coliform bacteria, and several other parameters. These results are herein compared to Alaska and federal water quality standards for freshwater aquatic life. [Summarize final results here when available].
