Consequences of varied soil hydraulic and meteorological complexity on unsaturated zone time lag estimates.
(Elsevier, 2014-10-13)The true efficacy of a programme of agricultural mitigation measures within a catchment to improve water quality can be determined only after a certain hydrologic time lag period (subsequent to implementation) has elapsed. ... -
An integrated approach to trophic assessment of coastal waters incorporating measurement, modelling and water quality classification
(2012)Various protocols have been developed for trophic assessment of coastal waters but most incorporate single value compliance criteria for water quality parameters which, in reality, exhibit significant spatial variation. ... -
Irish estuaries: Water quality status and monitoring implications under the water framework directive
(2011)The status of water quality of Irish estuaries is reviewed; this sheds light on the rationale behind the design of the national monitoring programme. Relative to other EU Member States, Ireland's coastal monitoring programme ... -
A review of phosphorus and sediment release from Irish tillage soils, the methods used to quantify losses and the current state of mitigation practice.
(2012)Throughout the European Union (EU), agricultural soils with high phosphorus (P) status due to a surplus input of fertiliser have been identified as a landscape pressure impacting on water quality. In the Republic of Ireland, ...
