Key Basin Project Results
1. 105 medium and large livestock farms received planning and investment support for farm manure and nutrient management, which minimizes nutrient leakage to water bodies.
2. Seven agricultural high schools received manure storage facilities and handling equipment, nutrient management plans, teacher training, and a customized Code of Good Agricultural Practices, exposing at least 2,000 students in each graduating class to theoretical and practical training in proper farm manure and nutrient management.
3. 186 agricultural advisors trained in farm nutrient management.

Municipal wastewater pollution reduction
Year: N/A - Value: [see desc]
INDICATOR#1 Number of farms in target areas that have built manure platforms and/or slurry tanks. (60). (SRI) 105 farms have proper manure storage facilities that allow leakage minimizing farm nutrient management.
INDICATOR#2 Beneficiary farms implementing nutrient reduction plans properly two years after being awarded the sub-grant (65%)
69% of the beneficiary farms implemented all aspects of their nutrient management plans.
Agriculture pollution reduction practices
Year: N/A - Value: N: 20% reduction/yr, P: 100% reduction/yr in demos
INDICATOR#2 Number of agricultural advisors trained in farm nutrient management. (80)
186 agricultural advisors trained in farm nutrient management.

INDICATOR#1 Level of decrease of nitrogen (pollution) flows from participating enterprises into water bodies connected with the Danube River (20%)
At least 44% of pre-project nitrogen leakage from beneficiary farms is avoided.
INDICATOR#2 Level of decrease of phosphorus (pollution) flows from participating enterprises into water bodies connected with the Danube River (20%)
100% of pre-project phosphorus leakage from beneficiary farms is avoided.
