The Environment Agency and the National Farmers Union have been working to find ways to improve the quality of water in catchments, through a new initiative to address phosphorus and phosphate pollution from farming. The report reviews the evidence on sources of phosphorus, transport pathways to rivers and streams, the resulting ecological impacts and the likely cost-effectiveness of measures to mitigate this pollution.
