| Abstract | We present an integrated methodology for the optimal management of nitrate contamination of ground water combining environmental assessment and economic cost evaluation through multi-criteria decision analysis. The proposed methodology incorporates an integrated physical modeling framework accounting for on-ground nitrogen loading and losses, soil nitrogen dynamics, and fate and transport of nitrate in ground water to compute the sustainable on-ground nitrogen loading such that the maximum contaminant level is not violated. A number of protection alternatives to stipulate the predicted sustainable on-ground nitrogen loading are evaluated using the decision analysis that employs the importance order of criteria approach for ranking and selection of the protection alternatives. The methodology was successfully demonstrated for the Sumas–Blaine aquifer in Washington State. The results showed the importance of using this integrated approach which predicts the sustainable on-ground nitrogen loadings and provides an insight into the economic consequences generated in satisfying the environmental constraints. The results also show that the proposed decision analysis framework, within certain limitations, is effective when selecting alternatives with competing demands. |

[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] The development of a decision analysis framework to determine the most effective and least costly alternative for addressing aquifer nitrate contamination is described. The methodology computes the sustainable on-ground nitrogen loading for a specific region, integrating on-ground N loading, fate and transport in groundwater, and soil N dynamics with an optimization module. Once the sustainable loading for the specific region is determined, a series of protection alternatives can be explored through the decision analysis model subject to a set of decision criteria, which include: cost incurred from implementing the protection alternative, satisfaction of the maximum contaminant level constraint, on-ground N loading and N losses, net N buildup in the soil and nitrate leaching, and NO sub(3) buildup in groundwater and NO sub(3) flux to surface water. As illustration, results are presented from an application of the methodology to the SumasBlaine aquifer in Washington State, which is impacted by intensive agricultural activities. The mitigation alternatives explored included doing nothing, dairy cattle herd reduction, manure composting/exporting, fertilizer application reduction, improving cow diet, and combined alternatives. The best alternatives were determined to be manure composting/exporting plus fertilizer reduction, and the two methods combined with the adoption of a feeding strategy for dairy cattle. We present an integrated methodology for the optimal management of nitrate contamination of ground water combining environmental assessment and economic cost evaluation through multi-criteria decision analysis. The proposed methodology incorporates an integrated physical modeling framework accounting for on-ground nitrogen loading and losses, soil nitrogen dynamics, and fate and transport of nitrate in ground water to compute the sustainable on-ground nitrogen loading such that the maximum contaminant level is not violated. A number of protection alternatives to stipulate the predicted sustainable on-ground nitrogen loading are evaluated using the decision analysis that employs the importance order of criteria approach for ranking and selection of the protection alternatives.
