Research led by the University’s Department of Civil Engineering has looked at nitrate transport from agricultural land to water in the Thames basin.

The findings, which found that nitrate concentrations in the Thames rose significantly during and after World War II to about double their previous level, then increased again in the early 1970s, have been covered by BBC News Online science and environment, Daily Mirror, the Earth Times and the British Science Association.
