Short summary
Nitrate contamination in agricultural groundwater systems is a concern in many regions worldwide. In this study, a model is applied to a regional-scale irrigated stream--aquifer system to identify the system inputs and processes that govern nitrate fate and transport at multiple scales: for the entire study region, for spatial areas irrigated by individual canals, and for individual cultivated fields. Results can be used to guide the localized application of best-management practices.
