The EdenDTC team had five presentations at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in 2016 covering different aspects of the project. These poster presentations covered an overview of the project, the use of the Treatment Train for diffuse pollution mitigation, the observed nitrogen dynamics, new approaches to sampling soil P levels and the impacts on […]
This 360-degree photosphere was taken over the mitigation catchment’s outlet station near the Dedra Banks farm. You can click and drag the image to see the landscape and the land management. This image was taken on the 14th of June 2016.
What is the cost to a farm of diffuse pollution? from Sim Reaney on Vimeo. This video discusses the costs of diffuse pollution losses to farmers based on the monitoring data from the EdenDTC project. The video also discusses the potential mitigation actions that could be taken to minimise the losses.

The Demonstration Test Catchments (DTC) programme was established in December 2009 to inform the mitigation of agricultural water pollution across farmed landscapes in England. We have taken a ‘learning by doing’ approach to develop, test and demonstrate suites of measures at landscape scale that are practical within commercial farming systems. Our approach recognises the river […]
