Abstract
S., Giakoumakis; D., Alexakis and GOTSIS, D.. An approximate method for estimating nutrient loads in drainage water from a coastal irrigated area. Earth Sci. Res. J. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.2, pp.115-118. ISSN 1794-6190.
In this work, an estimation of nutrient loads, expressed as Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) and Inorganic Phosphorous (IP), in drainage water from a coastal irrigated area was undertaken. The procedure is based on the calculation of drainage discharge with the use of data from the drainage pumping station and the assessment of the concentrations of nutrients in drainage water. The case study examined is the cultivated land of Agoulinitsa (Peloponnese - Greece). The results of this study could be useful for taking the necessary measures for environmental protection.
