What are the next steps and priorities for understanding trends in nutrients for groundwater?
Long-term and consistent monitoring of nutrients, improved accounting of nutrient sources, and improved tracking and modeling of climatic and landscape changes will be essential for distinguishing trends, understanding the causes of trends, and accurately tracking the effectiveness of strategies implemented to manage nutrients. In addition, information on groundwater age, redox conditions, and an understanding of the groundwater flow system, factors that directly control the occurrence of nitrate in groundwater over time, will be essential.
