Descripción
Sumario:[EN] The new water planning process promoted by the Water Frame Directive strengthens the need to achieve environmental objectives for each water mass through an assessment of a program of measures. The current study applies this WFD’s principle to the environmental recovery of an aquifer too deteriorated due to the pressure caused by nitrate pollution. This work applies cost-efficiency analysis to value direct and indirect costs caused by some measures for both the area and the province. Results show the importance of measures devoted to promote fertilization efficiency once complementary measures are implemented.
