Relationship between water quality and investment made into phosphorus reduction, Thames River watershed, Ontario

The purpose of this research is to better understand which beneficial management and water management practices are feasible and make good business sense for decision makers. This study has two main questions: (1) What soil and water management practices can grain farmers use to improve productivity by optimising the use of available moisture? (2) How feasible (financially, technically, etc.) are these practices in todays farming environment? This dataset will facilitate improved understanding of the relationship of investment made into Thames River watershed phosphorus reduction and water quality of the river. Specifically, this data set will provide information on the number of investments made since the 1970s and dynamics of change in phosphorus loads. This data set is collected to support the project titled 'Agricultural Water Futures in Canada: Stressors and Solutions Work package 3'. Agriculture Water Futures is a Pillar 3 project under the Global Water Futures Program funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund
