Export coecient modelling was used to model the impact of agriculture on nitrogen and phosphorus loading on the surface waters of two contrasting agricultural catchments. The model was originally developed for the Windrush catchment where the highly reactive Jurassic limestone aquifer underlying the

## Abstract Extensive land use changes have occurred in many areas of SE Spain as a result of reforestation and the abandonment of agricultural activities. Parallel to this the Spanish Administration spends large funds on hydrological control works to reduce erosion and sediment transport. However,
A trend of increasing solute (i.e. nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations in surface water has been observed in the recent past. Solute concentrations have often exceeded the World Health Organization directives on the quality of drinking water. In predominantly rural watersheds of developed countr
