Water pollution is captured by four indicators of risk developed by Ball et al. (2004) : i) risk to human health from exposure to pesticide leaching; ii) risk to human health from exposure to pesticide runoff; iii) risk to aquatic life from exposure to pesticide leaching and iv) risk to...
Eutrophication of water body is a problem of global concern. The potential for nutrient loss in runoff has been increased by the continued application of fertilizer and the excrement from livestock and poultry culturing industry. That has created a nitrogen and phosphorus imbalance. So the agricultura...

The crucial role of the agriculture industry in feeding a growing global population cannot be overstated. However, it has been acknowledged that the agriculture sector also contributes significantly to environmental pollution. Synthetic chemicals release
Agriculture and Water Quality Agriculture uses vast quantities of water and also causes extensive pollution, primarily by introducing nonpoint-source contaminants. Runoff from agricultural fields often contains eroded soil, fertilizers, animal manure, or pesticides that together form a major source of ...
In most cases pollution from feedlots is greater than from manure application sites or grazing areas. Pesticides with solubilities of greater than 10 ppm are lost mainly in the water phase of runoff. Runoff and erosion control best management practices will reduce pesticide losses in surface runoff...
GTAP region-level surface-water demand met by different water sources under the +2 °C warming scenario. Monthly runoff from snowmelt runoff, rainfall runoff, and alternative water demand for (a) China, (b) U.S., (c) Pakistan, and (d) India are shown in stacked bars inside the box...
The environmental implications are profound: decreased agrochemical runoff reduces water pollution, lower pesticide use helps preserve biodiversity and ecosystem health, and careful soil management via reduced chemical interference underpins long-term agricultural sustainability. ...
the counterfactual scenario were divided by the long-term (1971–2000) annual average hydrologically effective rainfall volume (HER, in l/yr) to yield a measure of agricultural pollution pressure (in mg/l) that approximates the flow-weighted average agricultural pollutant concentration in runoff. ...
Nitrate is much more mobile in soil than phosphate and finds its way into groundwater and runoff causing pollution problems of major significance particularly in marine systems that are N-limited [65]. So reuse of waste materials from agriculture has both pros and cons from an environmental ...
