Fig. 3. Temporal variation in (a) median concentrations and (b) leaching losses of total phosphorus (TP) at control sites and at sprayfields receiving wastewater application during the growing season and nongrowing season. The nongrowing season sprayfields also received partially treated wastewater during the growing season.

Fig. 5. Temporal variation in (a) median concentrations and (b) leaching losses of NO3–N at control sites and at sprayfield sites receiving wastewater application during the growing season and nongrowing season. The nongrowing season sprayfields also received partially treated wastewater during the growing season.

Fig. 7. Temporal variation in median concentrations (a) and leaching losses (b) of total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) at control sites and at sprayfield sites receiving wastewater application during the growing season and nongrowing season. The nongrowing season sprayfields also received partially treated wastewater during the growing season.
