Cork, Ireland. 2 School of Biology and Environmental Science, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland. A Lysimeter Experiment to Assess Environmental Impacts of Soiled Water Application to Grassland Soils Aims: Assess environmental risk of nutrient leaching and N 2 O emission from land-spreading of soiled water Assess effect of soil type (free-draining v. poorly drained) Assess effect of application timing (season) Lysimeter Design and Treatments Ireland: 90 % of agricultural land is grassland. Irish dairy farming is pasture-based. Soiled water is produced from washing-down milking parlours and holding areas. Contains nutrients that are potentially available to grass, but also pose a potential threat to environmental quality if not managed correctly. Typically land-spread. Currently no guidance for nutrient management. Provides both nutrient and hydrologic loading- potentially increase nitrate leaching. Very little known of environmental risks of land-spreading. EU Nitrates Directive requires study of nitrate leaching under intensive dairy production on vulnerable soil types. Research project established to investigate soiled water production on dairy farms, environmental risks of land-spreading and management options. This poster details a lysimeter experiment to investigate environmental impacts of land- spreading on contrasting soils. 1. Application to grassland. Management Options 2. Treatment with a wood-chip filter followed by re-use of water and land application of wood chips.
