How do groundwater flow systems affect the impact of on-farm mitigation measures on river receptor pollution?
The challenge
Agricultural diffuse pollution, particularly from nitrate and phosphate, is a significant problem in the UK and is the focus of the national Demonstration Test Catchments (DTC) study — a UK Government initiative.
The solution
In general in catchments the timescales of water flow can vary significantly - from possibly hours for overland flow to tens of decades for deep groundwater movement.
Environmental management to sustain high quality water resources
The challenge
The most important characteristic of evian water is its high purity, which results from slow filtration of the water through soils, rocks and other natural elements of the landscape, such as wetlands.
The Water Security Knowledge Exchange Portal supports the objectives of the UK Water Partnership - a collaboration between the water industry, policy and research communities. It provides guidance and co-ordination for water research and innovation in the UK.
