Regional Projects: Phosphorous
| During the past two decades, there has been increased documentation and awareness of the contribution of nonpoint sources of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) to impaired water quality in the USA. Improperly managed manure has caused water quality problems throughout the United States and around the world. Eutrophication of fresh water bodies is accelerated by phosphorus (P) inputs and has been identified as a major symptom of impaired surface water quality. Although nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) are necessary for algal growth, the incidence of harmful algal blooms has also been linked to an increase of P in fresh water. Colorado State University and the Northern Plains and Mountains Region have been involved in research and extension of P-related work and are committed to enhancing water quality through better P management.
