“…A river dominated by constant nutrient inputs (largely equivalent to STW effluent inputs in the UK) will form a dilution curve with negative gradient as flow increases. Conversely, a river dominated by rain-related inputs (equating to agricultural and septic tank inputs and within-channel mobilisation) will have an increasing nutrient load and/or concentration with increasing flow (Jordan et al, 2007;Wood et al, 2005). Therefore, these fundamental differences in the concentration-flow relationship can be used to infer nutrient source inputs.…”

“…For phosphate, there is often a more balanced mix of fluxes from agricultural and various effluent sources across many parts of the British lowlands (Mainstone and Parr, 2002;Smith et al, 2005a;Wood et al, 2005). Point effluent sources are of particular importance in terms of eutrophication risk, as dilution potential is low during summer low-flows, while biological activity is high Jarvie et al, 2006).…”

“…Small scale catchment management can make an impact, but when scaled-up to the catchment the bottom-line evaluation is whether or not we can detect evidence from land management changes made at the local level (e.g. Wood et al, 2005;.…”
