The Role of Ponds in Pesticide Dissipation at the Agricultural Catchment Scale: A Critical Review

Ponds in agricultural areas are ubiquitous water retention systems acting as reactive biogeochemical hotspots controlling pesticide dissipation and transfer at the catchment scale. Several issues need to be addressed order understand, follow-up predict role of ponds limiting In this review, we present a critical overview functional processes underpinning ponds. We highlight distinguish degradative non-degradative understand sediment-water interface dissipation. Yet it is not well-established how governs scale under varying hydro-climatic conditions operation practices. To illustrate multi-scale dynamic aspects issue, sketch modelling framework integrating Such an integrated can improve spatial prediction risk assessment across catchment-ponds-river continuum facilitate management rules operations.
