Cover Story: In this study, an integrated framework combining the environmental and economic assessment of fertilization restrictions through multi-criteria decision analysis is presented in an effort to efficiently manage groundwater nitrate contamination in rural areas. Various scenarios involving reductions (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) in fertilizer application were investigated, evaluated and ranked in order to determine the most suitable option. The environmental assessment considered occurrences of nitrates in groundwater, with a specific emphasis on nitrate concentrations in water-supply wells, as obtained by a nitrate transport model, while the economic analysis focused on the losses experienced by farmers due to the reduced fertilizer usage. A 30% reduction in fertilization was found as the most appropriate option for the area being studied. View this paper
