  • Controlled drainage - the use of a water control structure to raise the depth of a drain tile outlet to hold water in the field when drainage isn't needed
  • Wood chip bioreactor - an underground trench filled with wood chips that provide carbon for bacteria that denitrify the water flowing through it
  • Saturated buffer - a strip on the edge of a field filled with plants & bacteria that can remove some nitrogen from the water flowing onto it from drain tiles
  • Denitrification - the removal of nitrogen from a substance (soil, air, or water) by chemical reduction, typically via bacteria
  • Wetland - an area of land where water covers the soil year-round or at certain times of year
