From previous work it appears that total phosphorus is transported through rivers by a series of storm events. This paper presents a method for calculating the average distance of travel during any given storm event. The method uses the hydrograph, chemograph, and flow characteristics at a point in the river. Comparisons were made between storm events at the same station in a river, between different stations in the same river basin, and between stations in different rivers. Results show the distance of travel is dependent upon the magnitude and duration of the storm event but not on the magnitude of the total phosphorus concentration.
