Download Farming within nutrient limits

This fact sheet details two projects in the Rotorua Lakes area, where the community expressed a desire to improve the quality of the water. The farmers decided to be proactive and find out what impact their activities were having on the lake and what they could do to minimise this. The first project showed linkages between nitrogen applied on farms and that leached into the lake water. The second project focused on phosphorus and how it affected water quality.
