Vegetative and structural characteristics of agricultural drainages in the Mississippi Delta landscapes.
Agricultural drainage ditches in the Mississippi Alluvial Delta landscape vary from edge-of-field waterways to sizeable drainages. Ditch attributes vary with size, location and maintenance and may aid in mitigation of contaminants from agricultural fields. The goal of this study was to better understand how vegetative characteristics affect water quality in conveyance structures in the context ...
متن کاملInvestigation of phenological stages and pollutants’ type on the efficiency of vegetative buffer strips
Non-point source pollution is considered as a serious issue especially in the field of eutrophication for surface waters. Vegetative buffer strips include a specific plant being passed by flow before entering the waterways, so it causes to reduce runoff volume, deposited pesticides and other pollutants of the flow through infiltration, absorption and sediment deposition. The present study has b...
متن کاملUse of vegetated agricultural drainage ditches to decrease pesticide transport from tomato and alfalfa fields in California, USA.
Irrigation and storm water runoff from agricultural fields has the potential to cause impairment to downstream aquatic receiving systems. Over the last several years, scientists have discovered the benefit of using edge-of-field practices, such as vegetated agricultural drainage ditches, in the mitigation of pesticides and sediment. After demonstrating this practice's feasibility in California,...
متن کاملModeling effectiveness of agricultural BMPs to reduce sediment load and organophosphate pesticides in surface runoff.
Quantifying effectiveness of agricultural BMPs at the watershed scale is a challenging issue, requiring robust algorithms to simulate not only the agricultural production system but also pollutant transport and fate. This research addresses the challenge to simulate performances of BMPs in reducing organophosphates (OPs) runoff at the watershed scale. The SWAT model is calibrated and validated ...
متن کاملVegetative Filter Strips Reduce Runoff Losses and Help Protect Water Quality
Potential contamination (pollution) of surface waters with sediment, nutrients, and pesticides in agricultural runoff is an important water quality issue. Conservation tillage has been promoted and adopted by many row crop farmers because of its effectiveness in decreasing exposure to rainfall and reducing runoff and sediment loss. Vegetative filter strips (VFS), also known as buffer strips or ...
