Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Coastal eutrophication (excessive plant growth resulting from nutrient enrichment by human activity) has become a wide-spread phenomenon in recent decades. It can have significant negative environmental and economic impacts at local and even trans-national level.In larger river basins and coastal sea areas of Europe, 50-80% of total nitrogen pollution is caused by run-off from agricultural land. Furthermore, households and industry still tend to be the most significant source of phosphorus pollution. Discharges from households have decreased significantly during the past 30 years whereas the loss from agriculture has remained static. Recently, several attempts have been made to restrict nutrient inputs, which have, in some cases, resulted in reduced eutrophication and recovery of marine environments. |
