Phosphorus Yield (kg/km2/year)

In cases were the watersheds are exploited for intensive agricultural purposes, as consequence the fertilizer concentration increase. Thus, the fertilizer filters into the water and rise the accumulation of common nutrients, phosphorus and nitrogen, affecting their proper cycle. Around 384 million urbanities receive their drinking water from watersheds with high nutrient pollution.
