9780260391391 - Control of Water Pollution From Cropland, Vol. 1: A Manual for Guideline Development (Classic Reprint) di Stewart, Bobby Alton (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides crucial information and guidance for identifying and managing potential nonpoint sources of water pollution from agricultural lands, primarily through the control of erosion, direct runoff, nutrient management, and pesticide management practices. Erosion and sediment control are deemed of utmost importance because sediment is not only a serious pollutant itself but also carries other pollutants such as nutrients or pesticides. This book will help the reader gain a detailed understanding of potential pollutant losses from agricultural sources so that specific control measures can be developed and implemented to mitigate or eliminate negative environmental impacts. Importantly, it connects the reader to more detailed information sources, such as individual state agricultural experiment stations and the Soil Conservation Service, which provide region-specific data and support for implementing effective pollution control measures.
