Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution

Written by experts, Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution: Watershed Management and Hydrology provides a single-source reference covering techniques and methods for managing large watersheds. The authors discuss the effects of agricultural run-off, one of the most intransigent problems now faced by environmental engineers and hydrologists. They explore each issue with an eye toward the integrated management of water quality and water resources over a defined area or region. The book includes topics such as nitrate and phosphorus pollution, pesticide run-off, erosion and sedimentation, water-table management, and watershed management.
