DescriptionHow does nitrate get into our water? Lincoln University-based researchers are using cutting-edge scientific techniques to accurately determine and precisely quantify where and when agricultural contamination of waterways occurs. They hope this work will enable producers to minimise economic losses caused by inefficient fertiliser application. Project: Attenuation of nitrate in the New Zealand landscape. Researchers: Naomi Wells, Professor Tim Clough, Associate Professor Rob Sherlock, Dr Troy Baisden, Dr Sarah Beebout, Dr Roland Bureshw.PeopleNaomi Wells | Tim Clough | Rob Sherlock | Troy Baisden | Sarah Beebout | Roland BureshwPersonNaomi WellsTim CloughRob SherlockTroy BaisdenSarah BeeboutRoland BureshwOrganisationLincoln UniversityDate2011-2012Keywordsresearchnitratewaterwaysagricultural contaminationinefficient fertiliser applicationenvironmental managementwater quality assessmentFilenameHow does nitrate get into our water?SourceTransform 2011-2012 page 24.DepartmentDepartment of Soil and Physical SciencesFaculty / Research CentreFaculty of Agriculture & Life SciencesItem Reference0001229
