18. Conclusion
.The time domain assessment
provided the TS models and the
structural change models.
Breakpoint segmentation provided
insights into the comparison of each
ditch parameter
The ditch data collected over 4
years were assessed with two
approaches: 1/ time domain and 2/
frequency domain
The spectral analysis identified the
dominant frequencies for each
parameter over the 4-year period.
1. The flow discharge periodicities
remained similar between the two
channels.
2. Flow-weighted nitrate
concentrations were governed by
physical, chemical, and biological
processes
3. Nitrate load at Control ditch was
influenced by flow while at the ditch
treatment it was dominated by
processes other than flow
Two statistical platforms were used
in the analysis: R and JMP (visual
SAS)
Time series structural change analysis is published
in Pagliari et al, 2021. Options for statistical
analysis of unreplicated paired design experiments;

Drainage area: 300 acres (121 ha), surface and subsurface drainage
Original approach to splitting time series: intervention analysis.
Newer approach:
Structural change where multiple segments are identified by the algorithm and
Those segments are significantly different from each other, based on the mean. (BIC and RSS)
Return period of hydro-climatic events
Temperature for biological activity
Periodicity and Frequency refer to same notion; return period for hydro-climatological events
Holding water back, we expect the flow remains similar.
235 days = spring flow, snowmelt and rain on snow
33 days = surface and subsurface drainage, plant growth and ET
14 days = rainfall
FWC, Concentration = physical, chemical, and biological factors.
Diff in D-C and D-T periodicities suggest that the process and mechanism affecting nitrogen are different (HRT).
NO3 load = D-C flow dominates and at D-T physical and biological factors take over. Different processes at D-T
