Book Description
If you work in the water quality management field, you know the challenges of monitoring and controlling pollutants in our water supply. The increasing problem of agricultural nonpoint source pollution requires complex solutions. Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution: Watershed Management and Hydrology covers the latest techniques and methods of managing large watershed areas, with an emphasis on controlling non-point source pollution, especially from agricultural run-off. Written by leading experts, the book includes topics such as: nitrate and phosphorus pollution, pesticide contamination, erosion and sedimentation, water-table management, and watershed management. 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 towards the integrated management of water quality and water resources over a defined area or region. This single-source reference gives you a complete understanding of the whats, whys, and hows of nonpoint source pollution - and more importantly of how to monitor and manage it. Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution: Watershed Management and Hydrology provides a broad but detailed overview that helps you to comprehend the intricacies of the problem and puts you on the path to finding the answers.

Book Description
Nonpoint-source pollution (NPSP) poses a special challenge to society's ability to manage its collective environmental good - especially surface and groundwater quality. Since there is no `point', such as an outfall pipe, from which the pollution is being discharged and can be measured, pollution can reach the ambient environment without being monitored. Since management of air and water polution requires the definition and enforcement of limits on discharges or the imposition of fees on those discharges, inability to measure limits our ability to manage this environmental problem. This book presents a state-of-the-art review and discussion of economists' efforts to resolve this major problem and attempts to provide a way of working around it. The book sets forth the theoretical issues, modeling, and the actual programs set up to confront this issue.
Determining Nonpoint-Source Contamination by Agricultural Chemicals in an Unconfined Aquifer, Dade County, Florida

Book Description
South Dade County, Florida, is one of the few areas in the continental United States where winter fruits and vegetables are grown. About 85% of the agricultural area is underlain by Rockdale soil composed of crushed limestone and organic debris. The remainder of the agricultural area is underlain by Perrine marl. Both soils must be irrigated and require frequent applications of fertilizer, micronutrients, and pesticides. The agricultural area overlies permeable limestone of the unconfined Biscayne aquifer, which is designated as the sole source of drinking water for southeast Florida. The unsaturated zone in the agricultural area ranges in thickness from 0.3 to 4.6 m.
