Specific Nitrate App Web-Site disclaimer:
This Nitrate Application Web-Site relates to the use of the Nitrate App, as available for Android and Apple at the common places, and the information collected with the use of the Nitrate App.
The Nitrate App aims to use the efforts of many people to establish the relationship between different agricultural practices and water quality. Offering a method that allows participants – which can be any person willing to actively participate in research on the relationship between different agricultural practices and water quality, but who we expect to be mainly farmers- to both collect nitrate measurements and share this information easily. Participants can take nitrate measurements by using test strips and share the outcome information by sending the results by smartphone. The thus collected measurements will be freely available at this web-site.
You may use the information presented at this website as long as you mention in any publication you make, that you made use of information collected using the Deltares Nitrate App Website https://publicwiki.deltares.nl/display/wqapp
The accuracy of the app mostly depends on the accuracy of the test strips and your optimized use of the test strips. For more on accuracy and use of test strips please read carefully https://publicwiki.deltares.nl/display/wqapp/Accuracy and
