| Abstract: | It is develops a model that is capable of analyzing changes in potential emissions to water of N and P2O5 and apply it to the Netherlands, a country with large nutrient emissions. This article compares to a 2015 reference scenario based on current efforts to reduce nutrient emissions. It is found the following: 1)the WFD measures will increase regional transport and export of manure and reduce the number of animals in the Netherlands. 2)compares to the reference scenario in 2015, total agricultural income will decrease by about 81.5 million per year. 3)the average predicts decrease in N emissions from agricultural sites, vulnerable to leaching into bodies of water will be almost 20% or approximately 14.7 kg N/ha per year. 4)the reduction in N emissions to air from animal sheds, manure storage systems, application of animal manure and mineral fertilisers to the crops and grazing animals equals 6.5% or 5 kg ammonia (NH3) per hectare. |
