- Toor, G. S., Occhipinti, M. L., Yang, Y., Majcherek, T., Haver, D., & Oki, L. (2017). Managing urban runoff in residential neighborhoods: Nitrogen and phosphorus in lawn irrigation driven runoff. PLOS ONE.
- Study description
- This study investigated the transport of nitrogen and phosphorus from irrigation runoff in a residential catchment. The study looked at irrigation runoff at an outlet pipe from a residential neighbourhood to understand the concentrations of TN and TP as well as the daily fluctuations and influence of two different irrigation water sources (municipal and reclaimed water).
Response
- Cause term/trajectory
-
Land use/land cover - urban
- Cause description
- Irrigation of lawn surfaces in a residential catchment
- Effect term/trajectory
-
Water quality - nutrients (nitrogen)
- Effect description
- Concentration of nitrogen at outlet pipe. Nitrogen concentration was lowest at times when municipal water was used for irrigation within the catchment and highest when reclaimed water was used for irrigation.
