Modeling diffuse pollution with a distributed approach
The transferability of parameters for non-point source pollution models to other watersheds, especially those in remote areas without enough data for calibration, is a major problem in diffuse pollution modeling. A water quality component was developed for WATFLOOD (a flood forecast hydrological model) to deal with sediment and nutrient transport.

In the Po plain, northern Italy, rivers within agricultural basins display steep summer increases in nitrate (NO3−) concentrations. Flood irrigation in overfertilized, permeable soils may drive such diffuse pollution, facilitating interactions between ...

Justification of a complex of measures aimed at reducing diffuse pollution in small river basins
Purpose: to substantiate a complex of water protection and reclamation measures aimed at preventing the negative impact of diffuse pollution sources on water quality in small river basins, reducing soil erosion and restoring ecological framework elements

Soil contamination occurs when substances are added to soil, resulting in increases in concentrations above background or reference levels. Pollution may follow from contamination when contaminants are present in amounts that are detrimental to soil ...

Evaluation of global change impacts on diffuse pollution [PDF]
In a global change context, several recent advances in the field of hydrology and biogeochemistry suggest that a move from a riparian to a river drainage basin perspective is necessary to reframe research and thus provide a more integrated scientific understanding to inform water- and land-use management and policy.

Pesticides and metabolites in groundwater: examples from two major UK aquifers [PDF]
Reducing the impact of anthropogenic pollution on groundwater bodies and ameliorating any deterioration of water quality is central to key legislative drivers such as the EU Water Framework Directive and the proposed daughter Directive relating to the ...

Development and testing of a risk indexing framework to determine field-scale critical source areas of faecal bacteria on grassland. [PDF]
This paper draws on lessons from a UK case study in the management of diffuse microbial pollution from grassland farm systems in the Taw catchment, south west England. We report on the development and preliminary testing of a field-scale faecal indicator
