The development of river catchments with changes in land use can lead to increased stream turbidity and non-point source inputs. During storm events and increased precipitation, turbidity above standards can have direct deleterious effects on suspension-feeding mussels. Water chemistry (e.g., dissolved oxygen, nitrate, and pH) and discharge are variables measured during field experiments.
