    <descript>
      <abstract>This is a database of available fecal coliform bacteria, fecal streptococci bacteria, and nutrient loading data. Loading for contaminants other than fecal coliform bacteria and nutrients are included when values occurred coincidentally within the same literature.
</abstract>
      <purpose>This website can be used to quickly identify available measures of loading from different landuses (bacteria and nutrients) and animals (bacteria only).
