Ephemeral sand rivers represent an important water resource in Southern Africa. These rivers only flow for a few days in a year. However, much of this water infiltrates the underlying river bed sediments where it is protected from evaporation and uti...

Nitrate pollution in intensively farmed regions: What are the prospects for sustaining high-quality groundwater? (2011)
Journal Article
Howden, N., Burt, T., Worrall, F., Mathias, S., & Whelan, M. (2011). Nitrate pollution in intensively farmed regions: What are the prospects for sustaining high-quality groundwater?. Water Resources Research, 47(6), Article W00L02. https://doi.org/10.1029/2011wr010843

[1] Widespread pollution of groundwater by nutrients due to 20th century agricultural intensification has been of major concern in the developed world for several decades. This paper considers the River Thames catchment (UK), where water-quality moni...
