In this work, the presence of high levels of nitrate in groundwater of the aquifers of the west part of Hoya de Huesca County (NE Spain) has been studied by coupling hydrogeological information with water sampling techniques through a wide areal sampling of 90 surface water and groundwater points belonging to several aquifers. The results showed a general hydrochemistry of calcium carbonate to calcium sulfate waters. Unlike other case studies in Mediterranean areas, in which nitrate pollution was associated with irrigated crops, the highest concentrations in the present study were found in dry farming areas in which winter cereal is grown. A monthly nitrate level monitoring, conducted in 21 selected points between 2016 and 2017, showed that the nitrate evolution pattern followed the N fertilizer application schedules in the sampling points in which the highest concentrations were recorded, whereas an annual regularity could be observed in the sampling points with low nitrate levels. The compilation of data for 16 selected points since 1990 shows that the problem is persistent and points to the need of implementing new aquifer pollution control measures, since the ones currently in force have not been successful 000087009 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000087009 590__ $$a3.417$$b2020 000087009 591__ $$aAGRONOMY$$b16 / 91 = 0.176$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000087009 591__ $$aPLANT SCIENCES$$b57 / 235 = 0.243$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000087009 592__ $$a0.706$$b2020 000087009 593__ $$aAgronomy and Crop Science$$c2020$$dQ1 000087009 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000087009 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2713-2786$$aMartín Ramos, Pablo$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000087009 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9067-2940$$aCuchí Oterino, José Antonio$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000087009 7102_ $$12009$$2750$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
