Use of rapid small-scale column tests for simultaneous prediction of phosphorus and nitrogen retention in large-scale filters
(Elsevier, 2020-07-01)
Rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs) have been previously used to predict the effluent concentration of a single nutrient in large filters with good accuracy. However, in drainage waters originating from heavy textured ...
