Fig. 1

Schematic illustration of the system of interest. The phosphorus discharged from a soil-based on-site wastewater treatment system will reach surface waters in due time. However, chemical, physical and biological processes along the flow path contribute to delay the transport through the ground. These retention mechanisms may reduce the unwanted impact on surface water
