Watershed Nutrient Legacies and their Impact on Current and Future Water Quality in the Lake Erie Basin
Presented by Nandita Basu, Associate Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth and Environmental Sciences, Director of the Collaborative Water Program
With increasingly frequent and severe algal blooms in the Great Lakes, all levels of government and stakeholders have been engaged in developing policies and management solutions to reduce nutrient loading to the lakes. The term ‘legacy nutrients’ has been used to describe the amount of nutrients that have built up in soils over the years and are expected to delay the effect of management solutions. Join Nandita Basu, as she shares the latest research progress and findings on modelling legacy nutrients, N and P, and their impacts on water quality in the Great Lakes region.
