TLDR
The loss of nutrients in runoff and leaching water from agricultural land is a major cause of poor water quality in the United States as discussed by the authors, and the NRCS developed a technique to estimate the impact of agricultural watersheds on natural water resources.Abstract:
The loss of nutrients in runoff and leaching water from agricultural land is a major cause of poor water quality in the United States. Scientists (NRCS) developed a technique to estimate the impact of agricultural watersheds on natural water resources. The objectives were to apply the technique on Wread more

Estimation of tile drainage contribution to streamflow and nutrient loads at the watershed scale based on continuously monitored data.
Antonio Arenas Amado,Keith E. Schilling,Christopher S. Jones,Nicholas W. Thomas,Larry J. Weber +4 more
TL;DR: An end-member mixing analysis (EMMA) together with high temporal resolution water quality and streamflow data collected in the Otter Creek watershed indicated that subsurface tile drainage is responsible for at least 50% of the watershed nitrogen load between April 15 and November 1, 2015.

Soil Budget, Net Export, and Potential Sinks of Nitrogen in the Lower Oglio River Watershed (Northern Italy)
TL;DR: A nitrogen mass balance, realized for the lower Oglio River basin (Po River Plain, northern Italy), suggested an elevated impact of agricultural activities in this watershed as mentioned in this paper, and the relevance of nitrogen removal via denitrification in aquatic compartments within the watershed was evaluated.

Water footprint of sugarcane irrigated with treated sewage and freshwater under subsurface drip irrigation, in Southeast Brazil
Eduardo Augusto Agnellos Barbosa,Edson Eiji Matsura,Leonardo Nazário Silva dos Santos,Ivo Zution Gonçalves,Aline Azevedo Nazário,Daniel Rodrigues Cavalcante Feitosa +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the water footprint from sugarcane that was non-irrigated or irrigated with treated domestic sewage and freshwater by drip irrigation in the presence or absence of nutritional supplementation using fertigation.

Effect of Water-Filled Pore Space on Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous Oxide Production in Tilled and Nontilled Soils
D. M. Linn,J. W. Doran +1 more
TL;DR: The percentage of soil pore space filled with water (percent water-filled pores, % WFP) appears to be closely related to soil microbial activity under different tillage regimes as discussed by the authors.

Sources and Concentrations of Nitrate‐Nitrogen in Ground Water of the Central Platte Region, Nebraskaa
J. R. Gormly,Roy F. Spalding +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the isotopic values with those of potential nitrate sources suggested that the primary source of contamination in most wells was fertilizer and that a small percentage of the wells contained significant concentrations of NO3-N derived from animal wastes.

Nitrate Accumulation in Soils and Loss in Tile Drainage Following Nitrogen Applications to Continuous Corn
TL;DR: In this paper, Nitrate-N concentration in tile water, loss from tile lines, and accumulation in soil profiles were determined following each of three annual applications of 20, 112, 224, and 448 kg N/ha to continuous corn (Zea mays L.) grown on a Webster clay loam (Typic Haplaquoll) in southern Minnesota.
