• The proximity of effluent ponds to the stream network was identified as an important predictor of stream nutrient concentrations during dry weather conditions.
• Deep learning was used to estimate the stocking rate from high-resolution aerial imagery.

• The study focused on 10 subcatchments in the Macalister Irrigation District (MID), Victoria, Australia.
• Effluent pond density, dairy shed density, and stocking rate were identified as key drivers of stream nutrient concentrations, particularly during wet periods.

Summary and key takeaways:

• We investigated how dairy farm infrastructure and stocking rates – along with other catchment characteristics such as climate, hydrology, land use, land cover, etc. – influence nutrient concentrations (NH₄⁺, FRP, NOₓ, TP, TN) in streams.
