The aim of this trip is to work on finding the areas in the Norrström basin in Sweden that are vulnerable to phosphorus losses due to surface runoff over agricultural land. To do this, the team is conducting spatial multi-criteria risk analysis, incorporating criteria such as: precipitation distribution, soil texture, and proximity to surface water.
