Abstract:
A Water Resource Research Institute project initiated in 1987 and aimed at determining the effectiveness of vegetative buffers in removing sediment and nutrients from agricultural drainage has been extended and expanded under a cooperative funding agreement among several agencies and university scientists. The results of the study should allow more accurate prediction of how vegetative buggers can aid in solving agricultural nonpoint source pollution problems.
