    Abstract

    For the first time in Danish water supply history, it has been possible to use protection zones to restore groundwater from the effects of agricultural production. Here permanent grass reduced nitrate leaching rapidly and effectively. After just one year, the nitrate concentration in the new groundwater formed under the grassland remained at around 1 mg/l.
