Book excerpt: Diffuse (non-point source) pollution is increasingly being recognised as a major source of water quality problems in both surface and ground water. Indeed, as pollution resulting from point sources is reduced by the efforts of regulators, diffuse sources frequently remain as the dominant source of pollution. The book is an introductory text covering the nature, causes and the significance of diffuse pollution of both urban and rural origin. Best management practices to tackle the problems are examined as are the ways in which the adoption of such practices may be brought about. Use is made of case studies from several countries to examine the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. Diffuse Pollution covers both urban and rural sources. Urban sources include run-off from impermeable surfaces of roads, industrial areas and housing which may be contaminated by hydrocarbons, heavy metals, organic chemicals and other undesirable substances. Rural sources include water containing pollutants arising from agriculture and forestry such as plant nutrients, pesticides, microbes and soil itself. This concise book will prove useful to practitioners in the field of pollution control both in an urban and a rural environment, to regulators, to researchers new to the field, and to academics and students. An extensive reference section aids the reader in exploring the subject further.

This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of regulation and investment to reduce point source water pollution, OECD countries still face water quality challenges (e.g. eutrophication) from diffuse agricultural and urban sources of pollution, that is disperse pollution from surface runoff, soil filtration and atmospheric deposition. The relative lack of progress reflects the complexities of controlling multiple pollutants from multiple sources, their high spatial and temporal variability, associated transactions costs, and limited political acceptability of regulatory measures. This report outlines the water quality challenges facing OECD countries today, presents a range of policy instruments and innovative case studies of diffuse pollution control, and concludes with an integrated policy framework to tackle diffuse water pollution. An optimal approach will likely entail a mix of policy interventions reflecting the basic OECD principles of water quality management – pollution prevention, treatment at source, the polluter pays and beneficiary pays principles, equity, and policy coherence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diffuse Pollution of surface, coastal and ground waters is a major environmental and economic problem in the world today. Unlike point source pollution, which has to some extent been controlled by developments in technology and regulation, diffuse pollution is difficult to control, requiring the application of technological and socio-economical approaches and of education. The 46 papers in these proceedings have been selected from those presented at the 3rd International Conference on Diffuse Pollution, which addressed urban and rural diffuse pollution problems and solutions as experienced in several countries. The papers are divided into five themes: Identification of sources and loads Best Management Practices Receiving water impacts Modelling diffuse pollution Watershed management. The proceedings conclude with two papers, prepared by prominent specialists, that summarise the key findings at the conference. These proceedings will prove an essential resource for all concerned, whether as researchers, regulators or practioners, with diffuse pollution and its control.

This book was released on 2002-05-31 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last quarter of the twentieth century diffuse pollution emerged as a major problem worldwide. In developed countries it was frequently found that after massive spending on abatement of point source pollution, receiving water bodies had not improved, while in developing countries, as a result of population growth and migration, urbanization with inadequate sanitation, land use changes, deforestation, and other factors added to untreated point-source pollution to place unprecedented burdens on the natural ecosystems and on water resources. Newer more holistic strategies are being developed, incorporating innovative technologies, economic and regulatory tools, basin-wide planning, and citizens? initiatives. From a very large programme with a genuinely global perspective, 41 papers have been selected for these proceedings. They fall under the following topics: nutrient pollution from agricultural systems; solutions to nutrient and sediment pollution from agriculture; agricultural pesticide pollution; modelling technology for agricultural pollution management; lake loading and eutrophication; water quality monitoring; economic, social and policy issues; urban pollution and solutions; and integrated modelling technology.

Book excerpt: This document presents key messages and the state-of-the-art of soil pollution, its implications on food safety and human health. It aims to set the basis for further discussion during the forthcoming Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18), to be held at FAO HQ from May 2nd to 4th 2018. The publication has been reviewed by the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soil (ITPS) and contributing authors. It addresses scientific evidences on soil pollution and highlights the need to assess the extent of soil pollution globally in order to achieve food safety and sustainable development. This is linked to FAO’s strategic objectives, especially SO1, SO2, SO4 and SO5 because of the crucial role of soils to ensure effective nutrient cycling to produce nutritious and safe food, reduce atmospheric CO2 and N2O concentrations and thus mitigate climate change, develop sustainable soil management practices that enhance agricultural resilience to extreme climate events by reducing soil degradation processes. This document will be a reference material for those interested in learning more about sources and effects of soil pollution.

Book excerpt: Selected Proceedings of the International Conference on Diffuse Pollution IX; 9-12 August 2005, Johannesburg, South Africa. These proceedings comprise the selected proceedings of the IWA's 9th International Conference on Diffuse Pollution. Following a full peer review 23 papers were selected covering aspects of remediation, groundwater, agriculture, catchment management, urban management, rural management, catchment modelling, monitoring and analysis, reservoir management, pesticides and bioremediation. These papers highlight the complexity surrounding the problems related to diffuse pollution. It is hoped that they will give an understanding that diffuse pollution takes place within the social, political, institutional and economic environments of a country and that these issues not only determine the location, extent and amount of diffuse source pollution, they also influence how these sources of pollution can be managed as well as the viability of management approaches, procedures and practices. It is in this report that these proceedings will challenge the traditional scientist to broaden their perception of the technical issues surrounding diffuse pollution and to expand the search for understanding and solutions to include ideas from disciplines well outside the traditional circle of colleagues.

This book was released on 2000-02-17 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.

Book excerpt: Subsurface migration, fertilizer runoff from farms, storm water from streets, and other forms of diffuse pollution are now recognized as having serious environmental consequences. In more than 50 percent of estimated cases in which water quality goals are not achieved, diffuse pollution is cited as the main cause. This guide surveys the myriad problems and challenges presented by this form of pollution, and offers a wide range of feasible, cost-effective solutions for dealing with them. Water Quality: Prevention, Identification, and Management of Diffuse Pollution covers aspects of diffuse pollution ranging from sources and sites to health and legal consequences. It provides readers with valuable discussions of Sources of diffuse pollution Legal definitions The hydrologic nature of diffuse loads, and the processes and land uses contributing to these loads Best management practices that emphasize removal of priority pollutants Use of wetlands The fate of pollutants in receiving waters The restoration of reservoirs, streams, lakes, and watersheds that have been damaged Extensive data are provided on nontoxic as well as toxic pollutants, including new toxic compounds. The authors provide an integrated approach to water quality control and explain advanced pollution abatement technologies, such as the use of wetlands. Sections on repercussions to the economy include discussions of cost/benefit analyses of abatement programs and the payments that support the programs. Throughout, real-world examples illustrate practical applications of various control, abatement, and remediation strategies. Readers discover how to use modeling techniques to pinpoint the effects of diffuse pollution, as well as how to plan environmental protection and recovery. Other areas investigated are erosion, soil pollution, industrial diffuse pollution management, and the use of aquacultures in wetland management. The book offers solutions to a serious pollution problem—making it required reading for environmental and agricultural engineers, planners, regulatory professionals, and remediation specialists. It will also be a useful source for graduate students in environmental engineering and science.
