Linking catchment structural units (CSUs) with water quality: implications for ambient monitoring network design and data interpretation

Highlights

• New geospatial method to optimize water monitoring programs or design new networks.

• Catchment Structural Units (CSU) quantify key landuse/landcover, geology, wetlands, slope values.

• CSU statistical analyses reveals monitoring program representativeness of a region.

• The CSU method leverages key structural drivers that impact water quality.

• Specific CSU sets shows disproportionate impact on major ion and metal levels.
