Abstract:
In a study designed to support ongoing implementation of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin Nutrient Management Strategy and its nutrient trading program, scientists at the Center for Environmental Analysis at Research Triangle Institute suggest that targeting efforts to control agricultural nonpoint pollution at specific sources offers the best opportunities for reducing nutrient loading to the river. They suggest focusing on small land areas rather than whole counties or watersheds.
