摘要

Headwater streams constitute the majority of watersheds in the United States and many in thenmidwest have been channelized for agricultural drainage. Public health implications of waternchemistry and aquatic insects within channelized and unchannelized headwater streams havennot been explored. We sampled water chemistry and aquatic insects in two channelized and twonunchannelized headwater streams in central Ohio from December 2005 until November 2008.nMaximum concentrations of ammonium, nitrate plus nitrite, and chlorothalonil were greater innchannelized streams. Nitrate plus nitrite and atrazine also exceeded drinking water standards morenoften in channelized streams. Maximum concentrations of simazine and the percentage of times itnexceeded the drinking water standards were greater in unchannelized streams. The predictednhazard potential of nutrient and pesticide mixtures was greater in channelized streams. Mosquitonabundance did not differ between stream types. Chironomid abundance was greater in channelizednstreams. Biting dipterans did not exhibit consistent abundance trends and only differed betweennstream types in the summer and fall. Our results suggest that if whole stream uptake of nutrientsnand pesticides is minimal in channelized headwater streams then nutrient and pesticide inputs fromnthese streams may impact downstream drinking water sources. Our results also suggest channelizednand unchannelized headwater streams are not serving as a significant source of mosquitoes.
