VEEKAITSEST PANDIVERE JA ADAVERE-PÕLTSAMAA NITRAADITUNDLIKUL ALAL
The report examines water protection in Estonia's Pandivere and Adavere-Põltsamaa nitrate-vulnerable zones (NVZ), highlighting a disconnect between administrative water management plans and agricultural policy. While groundwater generally remains below the 50 mg/l nitrate limit, 45% of surface water bodies in the NVZ are in moderate or poor condition. A survey of 52 farmers reveals that while they acknowledge the impact of point-source pollution (e.g., manure storage), they are skeptical about the impact of diffuse pollution from fertilizer quantities and feel that NVZ restrictions create an unfair economic disadvantage compared to farmers outside these zones.
