Eutrophication programme

The programme for environmental monitoring and assessment Eutrophication at SLU is intended to provide data on which to base action to combat eutrophication of our aquatic systems. It should provide an up-to-date picture of the source and size of eutrophication sources and their development over time. A key element is to provide material for monitoring achievement of the environmental objectives and international commitments. The programme also provides assessment of the effectiveness of measures taken in various sectors of society.

Recources within Eutrophication

  • SLU Water Hub

    SLU Water Hub is a unit coordinating SLU departments involved in catchment scale modelling and assessment of water quality. The focus is on developing, managing and applying models for calculation of leaching, transport, retention, and source apportionment of nitrogen and phosphorus.

  • Monitoring nutrient losses from agricultural land

    Losses of nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural land contribute to the eutrophication of lakes and coastal waters. Two sub-programs within the Swedish Environmental Monitoring program provide data to support the evaluation of mitigation programs to reduce nutrient losses.
