abstract = {Within a collaborative project between Slovenian
Environment Agency (ARSO) and Research Center Jülich (FZJ),
nitrogen reduction levels necessary to reach groundwater
quality targets in Slovenia were assessed. For this purpose
the hydrological model GROWA–DENUZ was coupled with
agricultural N balances and applied consistently to the
whole territory of Slovenia in a spatial resolution of 100
× 100 m. GROWA was used to determine the water balance in
Slovenia for the hydrologic period 1971–2000.
Simultaneously, the displaceable N load in soil was assessed
from agricultural Slovenian N surpluses for 2011 and the
atmospheric N deposition. Subsequently, the DENUZ model was
used to assess the nitrate degradation in soil and, in
combination with the percolation water rates from the GROWA
model, to determine nitrate concentration in the leachate.
The areas showing predicted nitrate concentrations in the
leachate above the EU groundwater quality standard of 50 mg
NO3−/L have been identified as priority areas for
implementing nitrogen reduction measures. For these “hot
spot” areas DENUZ was used in a backward mode to quantify
the maximal permissible nitrogen surplus levels in
agriculture to guarantee a nitrate concentration in
percolation water below 50 mg NO3−/L. Model results
indicate that additional N reduction measures should be
implemented in priority areas rather than area-covering.
Research work will directly support the implementation of
the European Union Water Framework Directive in Slovenia,
e.g., by using the maximal permissible nitrogen surplus
levels as a framework for the derivation of regionally
adapted and hence effective nitrogen reduction measures.},
