Phosphorus (P) and sediment can move from agricultural land to surface waters, deteriorating its quality. This study was undertaken to improve understanding of partitioning of P and sediment to surface water via overland runoff and underground drainage pathways, and identify control measures....

Too much nitrogen (N) in surface water is harmful to aquatic life. Subsurface drains, some along with surface inlets, are commonly used for drainage of agricultural land in humid regions and contribute unknown N amounts to surface water. Quantification of relative amounts moving through...
