Book: Agriculture, Hydrology and Water Quality
by PM Haygarth
This book is a collection of state-of-the-art reviews on the global
problems of diffuse water pollution from agriculture, which affects the
water quality of rivers, lakes, reservoirs and the oceans. It includes
chapters on eutrophication, phosphorus, nitrogen, manure, heavy metals,
carbon/persistent organic pollutants and soil/siltation problems. The
book reflects the opinions of the world's experts in these subjects,
and is suitable as a reference book for researchers and advanced level
students.
