Urban wastewater contains N and P emitted by households and industries that are connected to a sewerage system, and households with sanitation but without a sewerage connection.
Urban wastewater contains N and P emitted by households and industries that are connected to a sewerage system, and households with sanitation but without a sewerage connection.


N discharges to surface water (''E<sub>sw</sub><sup>N</sup>'' in kg per person per year) are calculated as follows ([[Van Drecht et al., 2009]]; [[Morée et al., 2013]]):{{FormulaAndTableTemplate|Formula1_N}}where:   
N discharges to surface water (''E<sub>sw</sub><sup>N</sup>'' in kg per person per year) are calculated as follows ([[Van Drecht et al., 2009]]; [[Morée et al., 2013]]):{{FormulaAndTableTemplate|Formula1 Nutrients}}where:   
*''E<sub>hum</sub><sup>N</sup>'' is human N emissions (kg per person per year),

The soil budget approach ([[Bouwman et al., 2009]]; [[Bouwman et al., 2013c]]) considers all N and P inputs and outputs for IMAGE grid cells. N input terms in the budgets include application of synthetic N fertiliser (N<sub>fert</sub>) and animal manure (N<sub>man</sub>), biological N fixation (N<sub>fix</sub>), and atmospheric N deposition (N<sub>dep</sub>). Output terms include N withdrawal from the field through crop harvesting, hay and grass cutting, and grass consumed by grazing animals (N<sub>withdr</sub>).

The soil N budget (N<sub>budget</sub>) is calculated as follows:{{FormulaAndTableTemplate|Formula2_N}}   
The soil N budget (N<sub>budget</sub>) is calculated as follows:{{FormulaAndTableTemplate|Formula2 Nutrients}}   
The same approach is used for P, with input terms being animal manure and fertiliser. The soil nutrient budget does not include nutrient accumulation in soil organic matter for a positive budget (surplus), or nutrient depletion due to soil organic matter decomposition and mineralisation. With no accumulation, a surplus represents a potential loss to the environment. For N this includes NH<sub>3</sub> volatilisation (see Component [[Emissions]]), denitrification, surface runoff and leaching. For P, this is surface runoff.
