Methodology for evaluating the reduction of nutrients discharge in the Project area

a) use of analysis data provided by a ground and surface water monitoring program performed by ANAR, in the Project area, using 124 piezometers and 84 surface water sampling points; b) use of proxies to estimate the reduced N & P discharge into the water bodies.
