Abstract Featuring 22 reviews on the global problems related to diffuse water pollution from agriculture, this book discusses the sources of pollution, its movement and transport, and its impact. Specific chap...ers discuss phosphorous, nitrogen, manure, and heavy metals, as well as pathogens and persistent organic pollutants. Case studies depict water quality of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and oceans around the world. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) show more
