Description: This is a map from the Southwest Florida Watershed Management District or SWFWMD of the Tampa Bay/Anclote River watershed nitrogen loading potential based on 1999 land use and dry conditions, created in 2001. This map shows the loading potential by color in lbs/acre-yr starting with 0 (dark blue) going up to 9.5-9.8 (red). There is also a table to the right of the map showing each drainage basin, its rank, how many acres it covers, runoff volume, and the loading potential for 6 different sources in lbs/yr. "Note: Rank is based on the combined estimated loading potential of the basin area for nitrogen and phosphorus under dry hydrologic conditions. A low numeric rank indicates low loading potential." —Southwest Florida Watershed Management District
