Partner(s) or Client(s) : French Biodiversity Agency (OFB)

The project in brief

The Nitrates Directive aims to protect water from nitrate pollution from agricultural sources and France is legally required to meet its requirements. To do this, it needs reports based on reliable data. This project implements the mechanism, from the collection to the release of the processed data.
