Spatial modelling to establish the scale and extent of diffuse pollution was undertaken by our @HuttonEBS team.
New @CREW_waters report out assessing #diffusepollution pathways and implications in #Scotland! It found agricultural practices are the main source of N and P #pollution rather than poor nutrient management practice in #Scotland. Find out more
