Neuse河流从北卡罗来纳州海岸平原穿过Pamlico海峡进入大西洋。此河和它的支流来自一个广阔的流域盆地(是一个由家畜和条播作物农场组成的大农业区域)。这个盆地养分敏感,在20世纪90年代后期,是美国N、P中值浓度最高的盆地。为改进水质,政府号召农场主补充养分管理计划,以减少 The Neuse River flows through the Pamlico Strait from the North Carolina Coastal Plain into the Atlantic Ocean. This river and its tributaries come from a vast basin basin (a large agricultural area consisting of livestock and strip crops). The basin is nutritionally sensitive and was the highest N, P concentration basin in the United States in the late 1990s. To improve water quality, the government called for farmers to supplement nutrient management plans to reduce them
