The pivotal role of nitrogen to achieve environmental sustainable development goals and
transform our food system is recognized in an ambitious nitrogen waste reduction target in …

To improve water use efficiency and productivity, particularly in irrigated areas, reliable
water accounting methodologies are essential, as they provide information on the status and …

Abstract Ammonia (NH 3) volatilization, nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, and nitrate (NO 3−)
leaching from agriculture cause severe environmental hazards. Research studies and …

Up to now, the environmental damage by heavy metal is getting worse and worse as the
development of industry. Meanwhile, hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) in wastewater get …

The aim of this paper is to measure and benchmark the environmental performance of
Portuguese utilities jointly active in the three sectors of water supply, wastewater collection …

The increase of agricultural nitrogen (N) inputs since the 1960s is a key driver in surface-and
groundwater nitrate pollution. The water abstracted from these sources can input substantial …

Abstract In the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones farmers are required to implement measures to
reduce the nitrogen (N) surplus. Nevertheless, in some cases the status of the water bodies …

Reducing nitrate leaching may not result in a significant improvement of groundwater
quality. The amount of nitrate reaching groundwater depends not only on the hazard related …

In the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, excess nitrogen has contributed to poor water quality,
leading to nitrogen mitigation efforts to restore and protect the watershed. The food …

Available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most common elements limiting the
success of ecosystem restoration. Soil microbial communities, harbouring the alkaline …
