A New Approach for Detecting and Mapping Sewage Impacts

摘要

Increased nitrogne loading has been implicated in eu- trophication occurrences worldwide. Much of this loading is attributable tot he growing human population along the world's coastlines. A significant component of this nitro- gen input is form sewage effluent, and delineation of the distribution and biological impact of sewage-derived ni- trogen is becoming increasingly important.
