Fig. 5. Measured and simulated losses from the fields. (a) Measured losses and precipitation. (b) Uncertainty interval for simulated sulfadimidine losses for the drainage scenario. (c) Uncertainty interval for simulated sulfadimidine losses for the runoff scenario. Note the different scales and units on the y axes. The uncertainty intervals are defined by the 2.5th and the 97.5th percentiles.
