Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Agricultural Water Uses - Chlorpyrifos
نویسنده
چکیده
Chlorpyrifos is registered for use in agriculture to control numerous insects on barley, wheat, oats and a wide variety of garden vegetables (Agriculture Canada and Environment Canada 1990; Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 1997). Nonagricultural uses include the control of insect pests on turf and ornamental plants and in nonfood domestic areas, veterinary clinics, and commercial storage or processing sites (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 1997).

Spatial and Temporal Evaluation of Water Quality in the Kashkan River
The Kashkan River basin is one of the most important watersheds in the west of Iran, where major urban, agricultural and livestock regions are located in its catchment area. The aim of the study reported here is to evaluate the spatial and long temporal variations of surface water quality in the Kashkan River by using Water Quality Index, which aggregates different parameters and their dimensio...
متن کاملWatershed modelling of hydrology and water quality in the Sacramento River watershed, California
Agricultural pollutant runoff is a major source of water contamination in California’s Sacramento River watershed where 8500 km of agricultural land influences water quality. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrology, sediment, nitrate and pesticide transport components were assessed for the Sacramento River watershed. To represent flood conveyance in the area, the model was improved ...
متن کاملCanadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Agricultural Water Uses - Dinoseb
The rate of volatilization of dinoseb may depend on soil acidity, temperature, surface soil moisture, the method of application, and the type of formulation (Kaufman 1976). Cohen et al. (1984) reported a volatilization half-life of 26 d. The significance of volatilization has been evidenced by the killing of plants by dinoseb vapours (Davis et al. 1954). Photodegradation is a major fate process...
متن کاملAssessment of water quality in Blinaja River Basin (Kosovo) using the Canadian Water Quality Index (WQI)
Kosovo has limited natural water resources which should be well managed. This is recently realised through quantitative and qualitative monitoring of both surface and groundwater and by characterizing their quality according to their destination. In this paper, the Water Quality Index (WQI) developed by the Canadian Council of Environment Ministers (CCME WQI) was applied to evaluate the groundw...
