Towards European Harmonised Procedures for Quantification of Nutrient Losses from Diffuse Sources - EUROHARP EVK-2001-00062

The first primary objective of EUROHARP is to provide end users (national and international European environmental policy makers) with a thorough scientific evaluation of nine contemporary Quantification Tools and their ability to estimate diffuse nutrient (N, P) losses to surface freshwater systems and coastal waters, and thereby facilitate the implementation of the EC Water Framework Directive. A total of 17 European catchments are included in the project. The second primary objective is to develop an electronic decision support system (Toolbox) for the identification of benchmarking methodologies with respect to both costs and benefits, for the quantification of diffuse nutrient losses under different environmental conditions across Europe.
