The relationship between phosphorus retention (R P ) and water residence time (R T ) was assessed for selected U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs and found to be influenced by areal phosphorus loading rate (P L ). For reservoirs with high P L (>15 gm/m 2 /yr), R P increased markedly with modest increases in R T . Reservoirs with lower values of P L exhibited less dramatic responses in R P to changes in R T . The water quality management implications of this are great since reservoirs for which marked changes in R P can occur with modest changes in R T are potential management loci within a drainage basin.
