  • Broads Water Quality Report: River Thurne 2015
    East Anglia Area (Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk) Broads water quality report: River Thurne 2015 Map showing the location of water quality sampling sites in the River Thurne and Broads. Broads water quality report: River Thurne 2015 Page 1 of 6 Status River: Water quality is good for dissolved oxygen, ammonia and nitrate. Broads: Nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen – including ammonia and nitrate) are not all meeting the national and international standards High nutrient concentrations have a negative effect on the ecology of the broads. Nutrient sources include internal release from sediments, diffuse sources and tidal mixing of water from downstream. It is estimated that 97% of phosphorus in the Upper Thurne Broads and marshes comes from diffuse sources such as agriculture, minor point sources and septic tanks. Ammonia levels fail the water quality standards in Horsey Mere where concentrations are noticeably higher than the other broads in the Thurne. This is because there is an input of ammonia to the broad from the surface drains via Brograve drainage pump. The water in the Thurne river and broads is brackish. This is caused by sea water percolating through the ground close to the coast which is then drawn through drainage pumps into the broads and rivers. Actions The water catchment around the Thurne is designated as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. In this zone limits are set on when and how much nitrogen can be applied to agricultural land to reduce the amount of nitrate reaching the rivers and broads. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nutrient-management-nitrate-vulnerable-zones Following studies done in 2014, the dominant source of ammonia in the Brograve drain is believed to be from agricultural activity.
