The title and content of the NUTRINFLOW project is thematically related to holistic drainage water management and reduction of nutrient inputs into local watercourses and the Baltic Sea. The most important task of environmentally friendly drainage systems is to balance the need for artificial drainage and compliance with environmental quality standards. All environmentally friendly drainage systems explored in this project are capable to remove excess moisture and improve water quality. The water quality monitoring activities which were carried out in Latvia as a part of the NUTRINFLOW project suggests positive effects of constructed wetlands and bottom dams to reduce nutrients losses when optimum design and construction approaches are applied. When it comes to design of environmentally friendly drainage systems, a careful assessment of water quantity and quality parameters along with topography, catchment area specific conditions and other factors need to be taken into consideration to ensure maximum environmental and economic benefits. The benefits of implementation of environmentally friendly drainage systems are related to water quality improvements and flood risks reduction within the hydrologic network, increased biodiversity, usage of water resources for irrigation and recreation purposes.
