The Lafayette River in Norfolk, Virginia, is a shallow, turbid, urban estuary, polluted with primary treated sewage. The river was sampled monthly from October 1970 to January 1972. Oxygen, temperature, and salinity values are vertically and laterally homogeneous in the Lafayette River. The mean values of dissolved reactive phosphate (DRP) in the Lafayette River for the winter (1970–1971 and 1972) ranged from 2.2 to 5.8 microgram-atoms per liter (μg-at/1) and for the summer of 1971, 7.6 μg-at/l. Multiple linear regression models were prepared to relate the daily changes in phosphate to tide stage, wind component and rate of phosphate discharge (kg/hr) from the Lamberts Point sewage treatment plant.
