Euroharp - Retention handbook

The EUROHARP Retention Handbook was developed as a main deliverable under the EUROHARP project (www.EUROHARP.org).

The Handbook consists of two parts:

a software manual for the EUROHARP-NUTRET retention calculation tool; 

a scientific review of nutrient retention in streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs and riparian wetlands.

The scientific review part of the report is a result of a thorough inspection of the internal literature on nutrient retention in streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs a nd riparian wetlands. Existing mass-balance data on nutrient retention in lakes and reservoirs were also collected as part of the review. Results from the review and from analysing the data collected were used to develop the EUROHARP-NUTRET software.
