Reducing Nonpoint Source Pollution
76 Vegetated buff ers are a well-studied and widely used agricultural management practice for reducing nonpointsource pollution. A wealth of literature provides experimental data on their mitigation effi cacy. Th is paper aggregated many of these results and performed a meta-analysis to quantify the relationships between pollutant removal effi cacy and buff er width, buff er slope, soil type, a...
متن کاملNonpoint Source Pollution
A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program has been initiated in the North Bosque River Watershed in Texas, USA, where point and nonpoint sources of pollution are of a concern. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which had been validated for flow and sediment and nutrient transport, was applied to quantify the effects of Best Management Practices (BMPs) related to dairy manure management ...
متن کاملNonpoint Source Pollution and Optimal Regulation
This paper analyzes effects of nonpoint source pollution on regulation optimal contracts in asymmetric information situation. We consider a continuum of agents (to formalize major characteristic of nonpoint source pollution) which pollute another agent (affected agent). We distinguish different forms of externalities and examine if it is always necessary to modify optimal contract of each respo...
متن کاملNonpoint Source Pollution Taxes and Excessive Tax Burden ∗
If a regulator is unable to measure firms’ individual emissions, an ambient tax can be used to achieve the socially desired level of pollution. With this tax, each firm pays a unit tax on aggregate emissions. In order for the tax to be effective, firms must recognize that their decisions affect aggregate emissions. When firms behave strategically with respect to the tax-setting regulator, under...
متن کاملDynamic nonpoint-source pollution control policy: ambient transfers and uncertainty
When a regulator cannot observe or infer individual emissions, corrective policy must rely on ambient pollution data. Assuming this kind of environment, we study a class of differential games of pollution control with profit functions that are polynomial in the global pollution stock. Given an open-loop emissions strategy satisfying mild regularity conditions, an ambient transfer scheme is exhi...
