Abstract
⺠First direct UK evidence that nutrient emissions from septic tank systems affect water quality in rural areas. ⺠Septic tank soakaways on impermeable soils failed to adeqautely treat the septic tank effluent. ⺠The downstream eutrophication impact of septic tank systems largely depends on stream discharge volumes. ⺠Septic tank systems act as mini-point sources and need to better managed in catchment management planning.
