Modeling nitrate-contaminated groundwater discharge to the Ria Formosa Coastal Lagoon (Algarve, Portugal)

A numerical flow and transport model is developed to assess groundwater discharge and nutrient transport to the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon in southern Portugal. A total N load of 350 ton/year is estimated for the considered area, of which agriculture accounts for 73% of total N load, and domestic ef...
