Abstract
Despite advancements, precise on-site measurement of agricultural non-point source pollution and its impact on water quality remains challenging. Existing systems face limitations in addressing spatial variability and temporal fluctuations and accurately capturing nutrient dynamics in water bodies. This study introduces an innovative automated monitoring framework to assess nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) contributions from agricultural runoff. This research also presents an innovative mathematical modeling framework and experimental validation for an automated soil leachate collection system (ASLCS) designed to monitor agricultural non-point source pollution, particularly focusing on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) dynamics integrating soil water dynamics, pressure variations, and sensor responses. The model demonstrated exceptional accuracy in simulating soil water content across multiple depths (30, 60, and 90 cm) with remarkably low RMSE values of 0.0038, 0.0044, and 0.0036 m 3 /m 3 respectively. The soil leachate collection rates showed a strong correlation with soil water content (R 2 > 0.98 across all depths), with collection efficiency peaking at soil water contents above 0.28 m 3 /m 3 . Pressure dynamics analysis revealed sophisticated relationships between normalized pressure and volume (R 2 = 0.9911 and 0.9977), while ultrasonic level sensor performance demonstrated high measurement accuracy (R 2 = 0.9902) across operational ranges. The capability of the designed model to monitor nutrient concentrations showed exceptional precision, with validation results indicating high accuracy for NH 4 -N (R 2 = 0.9968, 0–10 mg/L range), NO 3 -N (R 2 = 0.9960, 0–20 mg/L range), and phosphorus (R 2 = 0.9943, 0–5 mg/L range). This integrated approach represented a significant advancement in automated monitoring technology, offering real-time, high-precision tracking of agricultural nutrient leaching while minimizing soil disruption.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
