Nutrients load stages with surface runoff

Initital

Transitional

Transit

The concentration of nutrients reachesthe established permissible limit for the environment, as a result of which the substance is transformed into a pollutant

At a transitional stage, contaminants are localized to one of two states: to erodibleparticles or to a dissolved fraction

At the transit stage, nutrients reacha water body with surface runoff oras a result of infiltration with groundwater

I. Measures to reduce the amount of pollutantsentering the catchment area from agricultural

production

The structure of water protection measures per stages

II. Activities aimed at the retention of slope runoff, reduction or termination of nutrient migration

to adjacent environments

(control over the use of fertilizers, application of best technologies for management of animal waste)
