Pollutant Impact Potential for Nitrate (PIP-N)

Category: Environment
Views: 105
Openness rating:

Nitrate Critical Source Area (CSA) are where there is a source of N from agricultural areas and the land is susceptible to losses. This ‘High PIP’ (Rank 1, 2 or 3) is typically due to the presence of freely draining soils and moderate/high livestock intensity. Target these areas in At Risk water body in which nitrate is the significant issue and farming is the significant pressure.

Provenance information These PIP Nitrate Critical Source Area (CSA) are where there is a source of N from agricultural areas and the land is susceptible to losses. These maps (version 3) replace an earlier version and use data from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on agricultural land use together with other spatial data (subsoils/bedrock/susceptibility etc.) to highlight areas at risk from N losses. ‘High PIP’ (Rank 1, 2 or 3) is typically due to the presence of freely draining soils and moderate/high livestock intensity. Target these areas in At Risk water body in which nitrate is the significant issue and farming is the significant pressure.
