Nonpoint Pollution of Surface Waters with Phosphorus and Nitrogen
Agriculture and urban activities are major sources of phosphorus and nitrogen to aquatic ecosystems. Atmospheric deposition further contributes as a source of N. These nonpoint inputs of nutrients are difficult to measure and regulate because they derive from activities dispersed over wide areas of land and are variable in time due to effects of weather. In aquatic ecosystems, these nutrients c...
متن کاملReducing Nonpoint Source Pollution
76 Vegetated buff ers are a well-studied and widely used agricultural management practice for reducing nonpointsource pollution. A wealth of literature provides experimental data on their mitigation effi cacy. Th is paper aggregated many of these results and performed a meta-analysis to quantify the relationships between pollutant removal effi cacy and buff er width, buff er slope, soil type, a...
متن کاملNonpoint Source Pollution
A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program has been initiated in the North Bosque River Watershed in Texas, USA, where point and nonpoint sources of pollution are of a concern. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which had been validated for flow and sediment and nutrient transport, was applied to quantify the effects of Best Management Practices (BMPs) related to dairy manure management ...
متن کاملNonpoint Source Pollution and Optimal Regulation
This paper analyzes effects of nonpoint source pollution on regulation optimal contracts in asymmetric information situation. We consider a continuum of agents (to formalize major characteristic of nonpoint source pollution) which pollute another agent (affected agent). We distinguish different forms of externalities and examine if it is always necessary to modify optimal contract of each respo...
متن کاملSnowmelt Runoff: A New Focus of Urban Nonpoint Source Pollution
Irregular precipitation associated with global climate change had been causing various problems in urban regions. Besides the runoff due to rainfall in summer, the snowmelt runoff in early spring could also play an important role in deteriorating the water quality of the receiving waters. Due to global climate change, the snowfall has increased gradually in individual regions, and snowstorms oc...
