    The document summarizes a meeting in Germany in 2011 about a project to improve water quality. It identifies sources of water pollution from nutrients at the household and commune levels, including improper manure storage and disposal. The project interventions addressed these issues by building platforms, bins, and manure storage facilities at households and communes. At communes, the project also involved rehabilitation of wells, and establishing riparian buffers and grazing management. Water quality monitoring showed reductions in nutrient levels after the interventions.

    Measuring nutrients concentration into the ground and surface waters


    Strong points: It shows the actual quality of the ground and surface waters at designated measuring stations. Weak points: The existing sampling stations could be not representative for project interventions. The frequency of measurements could not catch stochastic events as storm rains, snow melting or variable factors as fertilizers or manure applications. The trend of nutrient concentration does not reflect only the project interventions. It is expensive.
