| Abstract | To study and predict environmental impacts of land use changes we operate 200 lysimeters at 6 lysimeter stations. Different types of lysimeters are used to evaluate the effects of intensive and extensive agricultural systems, fallow systems and forestry types on drainage water quality. Lysimeter experiments allow the rapid detection and prediction of the impacts of changes in agricultural management. In particular, they are suitable for studying the transformation and translocation of nutrients and other chemical substances passing through soils and sediments into water systems. The objective of this paper is to discuss a) our different lysimeter set-ups and related experiments, b) the initial results of our lysimeter studies and their impact on land use management and c) the scaling-up of lysimeter data to catchment areas. However, from the point of view of protecting drinking water quality, rotation fallow for one year is not recommended because of the resulting intensified leaching of nitrates. |
