Quick Bibliography Series
Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography series of the
National Agricultural Library (NAL), are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
not in-depth and exhaustive. However, the citations are a substantial resource
for recent investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of
bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many
cases, could not access it by any other means. The bibliographies are derived
from online searches of the AGRICOLA database. Timeliness of topic and
evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria. Send suggestions
for Quick Bibliographies on water-related topics to wqic@nalusda.gov
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available from the author/searcher. The inclusion or omission of a
particular publication or citation should not be construed as endorsement or
disapproval. An author and subject index is provided along with the search
strategy.

Abstract: Eutrophication problems in waterbodies in south-
western Australia are primarily caused by inputs of nutrients
from diffuse sources within the agricultural catchments of
these waterbodies. To reduce the algal growth and seagrass
decline caused by these inputs, it is essential to modify land
management to minimize nutrient losses. Permanent reduction in
nutrient losses from agricultural catchments should involve
voluntary changes in farm management practices based on
improved land management. Specifically, these include on-farm
nutrient management such as soil testing, fertilizer
management, the use of perennial plants, and water and erosion
control measures to reduce nutrient loss from rural land. This
paper describes the management of nutrient loss from the
catchment of Oyster Harbour on the south coast of Western
Australia using a co-operative approach.

Abstract: Application of fertilizer can degrade quality of
runoff, particularly during the first post-application,
runoff-producing storm. This experiment assessed and compared
runoff quality impacts of organic and inorganic fertilizer
application for a single simulated storm occurring seven days
following application. The organic fertilizers used were
poultry (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter, poultry manure, and
swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) manure. All fertilizers were
applied at an application rate of 217.6 kg N/ha. Simulated
rainfall was applied at 50 mm/h for an average duration of 0.8
h. Runoff samples were collected, composited, and analyzed for
nitrate N (NO3-N), ammonia N (NH3-N), total Kjeldahl N (TKN),
ortho-P (PO4-P), total P (TP), chemical oxygen demand (COD),
total suspended solids (TSS), fecal coliforms (FC), and fecal
streptococci (FS). Application of the fertilizers did not
alter the hydrologic characteristics of the receiving plots
relative to the control plots. Concentrations of fertilizer
constituents were almost always greater from treated than from
control plots and were usually much greater. Flow-weighted
mean concentrations of NH3-N, PO4-P, and TP were highest for
the inorganic fertilizer treatment (42.0, 26.6, and 27.9 mg/L
respectively). Runoff COD and TSS concentrations were greatest
for the poultry litter treatment. Concentrations of FC and FS
were greater for fertilized than for control plots with no
differences among fertilized plots, but FC concentrations for
all treatments were in excess of Arkansas' primary and
secondary contact standards. Mass losses of fertilizer
constituents were low (< 3 kg/ha) and were small proportions
(< 3 percent) of amounts applied.

Abstract: Land application of poultry (Gallus gallus
domesticus) litter can lead to elevated runoff concentrations
of organic matter and nutrients. This experiment was conducted
to determine the impacts of poultry litter treatment (0 and
218 kg of N ha-1) and drying interval (4, 7, and 14 days)
between litter application and simulated rainfall on quality
of runoff from fescue grass (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)
plots. Runoff was generated from simulated rainfall (50 mm
h(-1)) and sampled at 0.08-h intervals during runoff.
Composite runoff samples from each treatment and replication
were analyzed for nitrate N (NO3-N), ammonia N (NH3-N), total
Kjeldahl N (TKN), orthor-P (PO4-P), total P (TP), chemical
oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS). One set
per treatment of the noncomposited runoff samples was also
analyzed. Runoff concentrations of all parameters except NO3-N
were significantly (p < 0.05) higher for the litter-treated
plots than for the control plots. Drying interval did not
significantly (p < 0.05) affect either concentration or total
mass of any constituent lost in the runoff. Concentrations of
NH3-N, TKN, PO4-P, and TP decreased uniformly with increasing
runoff rate and thus with time after beginning of runoff.
Temporal variation in runoff concentrations of NO3-N, COD, and
TSS followed no identifiable general pattern.

Abstract: The limited success of command-and-control policies
for reducing nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution mandated
under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) has
prompted increased interest in economic incentive policies as
an alternative control mechanism. A variety of measures have
been proposed ranging from fairly minor modifications of
existing policies to substantial revisions including
watershed-wide polices that rely on economic incentives. While
greater use of economic incentive policies, such as
environmental bonds and point/nonpoint source trading is being
advocated in the reauthorization of the CWA, the expected
effects of individual proposals will be modest. The
characteristics of NPS pollution, namely uncertainty and
asymmetrical information, underscores that there is no single,
ideal policy instrument for controlling the many types of
agricultural NPS water pollution. Some of the usual incentive-
based policies, such as effluent taxes, are not well suited to
the task. Individual incentive policies proposed for the
reauthorized CWA, such as pollution trading or deposit/refund
systems, are not broadly applicable for heterogeneous
pollution situations. Economic incentive policies may be
appropriate in some cases, and command-and-control policies
will be preferable in others and may in fact complement
incentive policies.

Abstract: Multilevel samplers (MLSs) consisting of
piezometers and tube samplers, a logical approach for
determining the direction of groundwater flow and chemistry in
shallow (< 6 m) nonpoint source (NPS) groundwater
investigations. These MLSs have evolved from fastening the
tubing to conduit at specific depths while the conduit was
lowered into the hollow stem auger train to the present method
of installing preassembled MLSs in boreholes drilled by the
reverse circulation rotary method without the use of drilling
additives. This method allows the aquifer to be sectioned into
discrete layers and provides an instantaneous snapshot of both
flow and chemistry in three dimensions. The procedure has been
used successfully at several sites in Nebraska. The method is
cheap, fast, and accurate in areas where the depth to water is
less than 6 m. While the same procedure can be used where
depths to water exceed 6 m, the need for gas-driven samplers
substantially increases the cost.

Abstract: Nitrogen inputs to, and outputs from, a 55-acre
site in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, were estimated to
determine the pathways and relative magnitude of loads of
nitrogen entering and leaving the site, and to compare the
loads of nitrogen before and after the implementation of
nutrient management. Inputs of nitrogen to the site were
manure fertilizer, commercial fertilizer, nitrogen in
precipitation, and nitrogen in ground-water inflow; and these
sources averaged 93, 4, 2, and 1 percent of average annual
nitrogen additions, respectively. Outputs of nitrogen from the
site were nitrogen in harvested crops, loads of nitrogen in
surface runoff, volatilization of nitrogen, and loads of
nitrogen in ground-water discharge, which averaged 37, less
than 1, 25, and 38 percent of average annual nitrogen removals
from the site, respectively. Virtually all of the nitrogen
leaving the site that was not removed in harvested crops or by
volatilization was discharged in the ground water.
Applications of manure and fertilizer nitrogen to 47.5 acres
of cropped fields decreased about 33 percent, from an average
of 22,700 pounds per year (480 pounds per acre per year)
before nutrient management to 15,175 pounds of nitrogen per
year (320 pounds per acre per year) after the implementation
of nutrient management practices. Nitrogen loads in ground-
water discharged from the site decreased about 30 percent,
from an average of 292 pounds of nitrogen per million gallons
of ground water before nutrient management to an average of
203 pounds of nitrogen per million gallons as a result of the
decreased manure and commercial fertilizer applications.
Reductions in manure and commercial fertilizer applications
caused a reduction of approximately 11,000 pounds (3,760
pounds per year; 70 70 pounds per acre per year) in the load
of nitrogen discharged in ground water from the 55-acre site
during the three-year period 1987-1990.

Abstract: The complete evaluation of the offsite effects of
national policies or programs that affect levels of
agricultural nonpoint source pollution requires linking
extensive water quality changes to changes in recreational
activity. A sequential decision model is specified to describe
an individual's decisions about fishing. A participation model
for recreational fishing that includes a water quality index
reflecting regional water quality is developed and estimated
as a logit model with national level data. A visitation model
for those who decide to fish that also includes the water
quality index is estimated using ordinary least squares. The
water quality index is found to be significant in the
participation model but not in the visitation model. Together,
the two models provide a means of estimating how changes in
water quality might influence the number of recreation days
devoted to fishing. The model is used to estimate changes in
fishing participation for the Conservation Reserve Program.

Abstract: Physically based models of lakes require estimates
of daily, spatially varied water and nutrient fluxes into the
lake from surrounding watersheds. Often, however, only a
selected set of streams are periodically (monthly or biweekly)
sampled. The objective of this study was to develop and test a
method for estimating daily flux of nutrients into a large
reservoir using data from sampling of selected watersheds.
Flow rate, nitrate (NO3-N), total nitrogen (TN), soluble
reactive phosphorus (SRP), total phosphorus (TP), and chemical
oxygen demand (COD) were measured monthly during 1991 for
eight watersheds that feed Lake Lanier in northern Georgia.
Daily stream flow in the eight streams was correlated to data
from nearby USGS gauged stream stations, and daily nutrient
concentrations were related to watershed land use and monthly
variation in measured concentrations. Fraction of agricultural
land in the watershed (AG) was the only land use parameter
that correlated to nonpoint-source loads. Coefficients of
determination for linear regressions between AG and NO3-N, TN,
SRP, TP, and COD were 0.74, 0.73, 0.47, 0.84, and 0.52,
respectively. The relationships were tested on an independent
data set consisting of two samples from 19 additional streams.
Coefficients of determination (r2) between measured and
predicted data for the independent test data was 0.77, 0.52,
0.66, 0.64, 0.69, and 0.76 for stream flow, NO3-N, TN, SRP,
TP, and COD, respectively. Percentages of nutrient loads
attributable to nonpoint-source loads ranged between 76% for
TN to 92% for TP and COD, whereas those attributable to
agricultural nonpoint source were about 15% for COD, 28% for
TN, 34% for NO3-N, 40% for TP, and 70% for SRP.

Abstract: Pesticide simulation models, GLEAMS and PRZM, were
evaluated for their ability to predict pesticide behavior
using field data from a plot under no-till corn in the Coastal
Plain region of Virginia. The models were evaluated in an
uncalibrated mode as well as with adjustment of important
hydrology parameters. The evaluation of model performance was
based on graphical displays and statistical measures.
Difference in evapotranspiration (ET) predictions by the two
models caused the simulated results from their hydrology
components to vary. Runoff and soil moisture measured in the
field were predicted reasonably well after adjusting important
hydrology parameters. Except for differences in magnitude,
both models predicted the chemical concentration profiles
similarly. Overall, GLEAMS represented pesticide behavior in
soil better than PRZM. The models, GLEAMS and PRZM, performed
well in predicting pesticide mass in the root zone, but were
less reliable in predicting pesticide concentration
distributions in soil. Model predictions of pesticide fate and
transport were not greatly affected by changes in curve number
and the water holding capacity of the soil.

Abstract: The accuracy and precision of phosphorus load
estimates from two agricultural drainage basins in western
Finland were evaluated, based on continuous flow measurements
and frequent flow-proportional sampling of total phosphorus
concentration during a 2 year period. The objective was to
compare different load calculation methods and to evaluate
alternative sampling strategies. An hourly data set of
concentrations was constructed by linear interpolation, and
these data were used in Monte Carlo runs for producing
replicate data sets for calculating the accuracy and precision
of load estimates. All estimates were compared with reference
values computed from the complete hourly data sets. The load
calculation methods based on summing the products of regularly
sampled flows and concentrations produced the best precision,
whereas the best accuracy was achieved using methods based on
multiplying annual flow by flow-weighted annual mean
concentration. When comparing different sampling strategies,
concentrating sampling in high runoff periods (spring and
autumn) was found to give better accuracy and precision than
strategies based on regular interval sampling throughout the
year. However, the best result was obtained by taking samples
flow-proportionally within the highest peak flows plus
additional regular interval (e.g. biweekly) samples outside
these flow peaks. Using this strategy, which calls for
automatic sampling equipment, accuracies better than 5% and
precisions better than 10% can be achieved with only 30-50
samples per year.

Abstract: Forest management activities may substantially
alter the quality of water draining forests, and are regulated
as nonpoint sources of pollution. Important impacts have been
documented, in some cases, for undesirable changes in stream
temperature and concentrations of dissolved oxygen, nitrate-N,
and suspended sediments. We present a comprehensive summary of
North American studies that have examined the impacts of
forest practices on each of these parameters of water quality.
In most cases, retention of forested buffer strips along
streams prevents unacceptable increases in stream
temperatures. Current practices do not typically involve
addition of large quantities of fine organic material to
streams, and depletion of streamwater oxygen is not a problem;
however, sedimentation of gravel streambeds may reduce oxygen
diffusion into spawning beds in some cases. Concentrations of
nitrate-N typically increase substantially after forest
harvesting and fertilization, but only a few cases have
resulted in concentrations approaching the drinking-water
standard of 10 mg of nitrate- N/L. Road construction and
harvesting increase suspended sediment concentrations in
streamwater, with highly variable results among regions in
North America. The use of best management practices usually
prevents unacceptable increases in sediment concentrations,
but exceptionally large responses (especially in relation to
intense storms) are not unusual.

Abstract: Contamination of ground water from agricultural
sources has been documented in a majority of the contiguous
United States. In this study, we examine the potential for
voluntary adoption of management practices that reduce risk of
ground water contamination and discuss how farm operators'
attitudes regarding the environment might affect the success
of voluntary programs. Farmers' behavior and attitudes in
Rockingham County, Virginia, and Big Spring Basin, Iowa,
reveal that both groups consider the ground water issue to be
a serious problem to which they are contributing. This
awareness is a significant first step in prompting
consideration of management practices that reduce the threat
to ground water quality. We also found that the worst
offenders"--that is, farmers applying nitrogen well above
agronomic recommendations--were those with the least concern
about the problem. If major shifts in farming practices are to
occur voluntarily, major incentives or disincentives are
needed Even though the concern about ground water quality is
high, the documented risks perceived by farmers are not
strongly convincing. The economic incentives for change are
questionable at best. Voluntary adoption of best management
practices is only one of several policy options. Ultimately,
policies designed to reduce ground water contamination may
need a mix of strategies, including economic incentives and
disincentives, zoning and land use restrictions, environmental
regulations, and bans on agricultural chemicals.

Abstract: Alluvial groundwater adjacent to the main stem
river is the principal nonpoint source of atrazine and
deethylatrazine in the Cedar River of Iowa after the river has
been in base flow conditions for 5 days. Between two sites
along a 116-kin reach of the Cedar River, tributaries
contributed about 25% of the increase in the atrazine and
deethylatrazine load, whereas groundwater from the alluvial
aquifer contributed at least 75% of the increase in load.
Within the study area, tributaries aggregate almost all of the
discharge from tile drains, and yet the tributaries still only
contribute 25% of the increase in loads in the main stem
river. At an unfarmed study site adjacent to the Cedar River,
the sources of atrazine and deethylatrazine in the alluvial
groundwater are bank storage of river water and groundwater
recharge from areas distant from the river. Atrazine and
deethylatrazine associated with bank storage water will
provide larger concentrations to the river during early base
flow conditions. After the depletion of bank storage, stable
and smaller concentrations of atrazine and deethylatrazine,
originating from groundwater recharge, continue to be
discharged from the alluvial aquifer to the river; thus these
results indicate that alluvial aquifers are an important
nonpoint source of atrazine and deethylatrazine in rivers
during base flow.

Abstract: Surface water, groundwater, and groundwater
discharge quality surveys were conducted in Cherrystone Inlet,
on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Shallow groundwater below
agricultural fields had nitrate concentrations significantly
higher than inlet surface waters and shallow groundwater
underlying forested land. This elevated nitrate groundwater
discharged to adjacent surface waters. Nearshore discharge
rates of water across the sediment-water interface ranged from
0.02 to 3.69 liters. m-2.hr-1 during the surveys. The
discharge was greatest nearshore at low tide periods, and
decreased markedly with increasing distance offshore. Vertical
hydraulic heads, Eh, and inorganic nitrogen flux in the
sediments followed similar patterns. Nitrate was the
predominant nitrogen species discharged nearshore adjacent to
agricultural land use, changing to ammonium farther offshore.
Sediment nitrogen fluxes were sufficient to cause observable
impacts on surface water quality; nitrate concentrations were
up to 20 times greater in areas of groundwater discharge than
in the main stem inlet water. Based on DIN:DIP ratios,
nitrogen contributions from direct groundwater discharge and
tidal creek inputs appear to be of significant ecological
importance. This groundwater discharge links land use activity
and the quality of surface water, and therefore must be
considered in selection of best management practices and water
quality management strategies.

Abstract: A hydrologic investigation to determine vertical
and seasonal variation of atrazine, alachlor, cyanazine, and
nitrate at one location and to relate the variation to ground-
water movement in the Iowa River alluvium was conducted in
Iowa County, Iowa, from March 1986 to December 1987. Water
samples were collected at discrete intervals through the
alluvial sequence from the soil zone to the base of the
aquifer. Alachlor, atrazine, and cyanazine were detected most
frequently in the soil zone but also were present in the upper
part of the alluvial aquifer. Alachlor was detected
sporadically, whereas, atrazine, cyanazine, and nitrate were
present throughout the year. In the alluvial aquifer, the
herbicides generally were not detected during 1986 and were
present in detectable concentrations for only a short period
of time in the upper 1.6 meters of the aquifer during 1987.
Nitrate was present throughout the alluvium and was stratified
in the alluvial aquifer. The largest nitrate concentrations
were detected-in the middle part of the aquifer. Nitrate
concentrations were variable only in the upper 2 meters of the
aquifer. Vertical movement of herbicides and nitrate in the
soil correlated with precipitation and degree of saturation. A
clay layer retarded vertical movement of atrazine but not
nitrate from the soil layer to the aquifer. Vertical movement
could not account for the chemical variation in the alluvial
aquifer.

Abstract: The hydrologic responses from an agricultural
watershed in southeast Nebraska were investigated under an
array of physiographic, hydrologic, meteorologic, and
management conditions. For analytical purposes, the hydrologic
responses were narrowed to include only runoff and sediment
yield. The study was performed by utilizing the ANSWERS (Area
Nonpoint Source Watershed Environment Response Simulation)
hydrologic-simulation model. Results of this study indicate
that, generally, nonstructural (agronomic) Best Management
Practices (BMPs) have a more significant impact in controlling
erosion and nonpoint-source pollution than structurally
oriented BMPs. The percentage of reduction in average soil
loss as a result of changing tillage systems from conventional
to chisel plow was in the mid-40s. The corresponding
percentages of reduction in sediment yield from the watershed
under minimum tillage and no-till systems were in the mid-60s
and mid-80s, respectively. The impact of these management
strategies on runoff varied considerably. That is primarily
based on the watershed's antecedent soil moisture condition,
land use, and the growth stage of crops. Generally, an
intense, short, thunderstorm type of rainfall event had more
relative impact on runoff, and therefore sediment yield than a
long, gentle, and steady event.

Abstract: Rainfall data provide a prime input in nonpoint
source pollution (nps) modeling. The sensitivity of model
outputs to variations in the time step selected for rainfall
data has been explored for two nps models, a field-scale
continuous model, and an event-based watershed-scale model,
for the temperate climatic conditions of Southern Ontario,
Canada. This study has revealed that model outputs regarding
runoff, soil loss and sediment yield, and calibrated
parameters representing soil hydraulic properties and erosion
characteristics are extremely sensitive to small variations in
the rainfall time step. Model users must use caution therefore
to take these variations into account during the calibration
and application of such models.

Abstract: Recent federal legislation strengthened nonpoint
source pollution regulations and helped to support and
standardize pollution control efforts. A comprehensive review
of current state and federal programs for forest areas reveals
a substantial increase in agency water quality protection
activities. These new efforts emphasize monitoring to assess
the use and effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs).
Recent monitoring reveals that BMP use is increasing and that
such use typically maintains water quality within standards.
However, information is generally lacking about the cost
effectiveness of BMP programs. Carefully designed and executed
monitoring is the key to better specification of BMPs and more
cost effective water quality protection.

Abstract: The accelerated eutrophication of most freshwaters
is limited by P inputs. Nonpoint sources of P in agricultural
runoff now contribute a greater portion of freshwater inputs,
due to easier identification and recent control of point
sources. Although P management is an integral part of
profitable agrisystems, continued inputs of fertilizer and
manure P in excess of crop requirements have led to a build-up
of soil P levels, which are of environmental rather than
agronomic concern, particularly in areas of intensive crop and
livestock production. Thus, the main issues facing the
establishment of economically and environmentally sound P
management systems are the identification of soil P levels
that are of environmental concern; targeting specific controls
for different water quality objectives within watersheds; and
balancing economic with environmental values. In developing
effective options, we have brought together agricultural and
limnological expertise to prioritize watershed management
practices and remedial strategies to mitigate nonpoint-source
impacts of agricultural P. Options include runoff and erosion
control and P-source management, based on eutrophic rather
than agronomic considerations. Current soil test P methods may
screen soils on which the aquatic bioavailability of P should
be estimated. Landowner options to more efficiently utilize
manure P include basing application rates on soil
vulnerability to P loss in runoff, manure analysis, and
programs encouraging manure movement to a greater hectareage.
Targeting source areas may be achieved by use of indices to
rank soil vulnerability to P loss in runoff and lake
sensitivity to P inputs.

Abstract: This study documents the development of a link
between a geographical information system (GIS) and a non-
point source pollution model. The GIS ARC/INFO was linked to
the agricultural non-point source pollution model and ORACLE
data sources. Application of the system is demonstrated using
the Bedford-Ouse catchment as a suitable case study. Water
quality impacts are predicted from source data describing
topography, soils, land use and river network. The model
results were in agreement with observed nitrate concentrations
at the catchment outlet, and more appropriate data sources are
considered to be the main priority for improving model
predictive ability. Management scenarios were established to
assess the impact of changing agricultural management
practices on predicted water quality. The approach has
significant potential for the management of agricultural
pollution in the UK.

Abstract: Complex mathematical simulation models are
generally used for quantitative measurement of the fate of
agricultural chemicals in soil. But it is less efficient to
use them directly for regional water quality assessments
because of the large number of simulations required to cover
the entire region and because the entire set of simulation
runs must be repeated for each new policy. To make regional
water quality impact assessment on a timely basis, a
simplified technique called metamodeling is suggested. A
metamodel summarizes the input-output relationships in a
complex simulation model designed to mimic actual processes
such as groundwater leaching. Metamodels are constructed and
validated to predict groundwater and surface water
concentrations of major corn and sorghum herbicides in the
Corn Belt and Lake States regions of the United States. The
usefulness of metamodeling in the evaluation of agricultural
nonpoint pollution policies is illustrated using an integrated
environmental economic modeling system. For the baseline
scenario, we estimate that 1.2% of the regional soils will
lead to groundwater detection of atrazine exceeding 0.12
micrograms/L, which compares well with the findings of an
Environmental Protection Agency monitoring survey. The results
suggest no-till practices could significantly reduce surface
water concentration and a water quality policy, such as an
atrazine ban, could increase soil erosion despite the
conservation compliance provisions.

Abstract: Targeting cropland retirement programs to reduce
agricultural nonpoint source pollution is accomplished by
employing disaggregated information about physical and
economic factors that influence the benefits and costs of
adopting specific erosion control practices on specific land
parcels. The agricultural nonpoint source (AGNPS) model is
used in a Minnesota watershed to simulate the relative
effectiveness of alternative targeting schemes with respect to
budget outlays for annual payments to landowners, reduction in
downstream sediment yield and nutrient loss, and reduction in
on-site erosion. Cost-effectiveness increased with information
on economic factors (the opportunity cost of retiring a parcel
of land) as well as on physical factors (contribution of a
parcel to downstream sediment yield). The marginal cost-
effectiveness of all schemes decreased as the enrolled
proportion of watershed land increased.

Abstract: A physically based modeling approach is used to
link watershed with lake processes and to simulate their
responses to land management and weather conditions.
Components of the watershed model, AGNPS (agricultural
nonpoint-source model), are hydrology, erosion, sediment
transport, transport of nitrogen and phosphorus, and chemical
oxygen demand. Using a cellular structure, runoff, sediment,
and chemical variables from the watershed provide input to a
take model. This one-dimensional model of water bodies
simulates temperature stratification, mixing by wind,
sedimentation, inflow density current, and algal growth.
Unsteady advection-diffusion equations characterize the
dynamics of suspended sediment, soluble and sediment-attached
N and P, and chlorophyll. This model, AGNPS-LAKE, is driven by
random generation of weather conditions on a daily basis.
Resulting impacts of alternative management plans are
simulated by changing agricultural practices and land use,
thereby modifying inflow characteristics to a lake. Modeling
capabilities are being tested on eutrophic lakes in Minnesota
for the purpose of simulating long-term trends and impacts of
best management practices.

Abstract: Many of the microorganisms pathogenic to both
animals and man are transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Most
of these pathogens could conceivably be transmitted through a
shellfish vector. Bacteria potentially transmitted from animal
to man via shellfish include most of the salmonellae. Yersinia
enterocolitica, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Escherichia coli
0157:H7, Campylobacter jejuni, and Listeria monocytogenes. The
protozoa most likely to be transmitted this way are Giardia
lamblia and Cryptosporidium spp. Because the enteric viruses
are highly species-specific, they are not likely to be
transmitted from animals to humans. There are environmental
data showing that bacterial pathogens shed by both domestic
and wild animals have been isolated from shellfish. However,
there is little epidemiological evidence that illness
outbreaks have been caused by shellfish harvested from waters
polluted by animals. Unfortunately, epidemiological
observations are of limited value because most illnesses are
probably not recorded. In addition, more than half of the
recorded outbreaks are of unknown etiology, and more than half
of the shellfish implicated in illness outbreaks cannot be
traced to their points of origin. More lenient bacteriological
standards should not be established for waters affected only
by animal pollution until health effects studies have been
performed, and an indicator that differentiates between human
and nonhuman fecal pollution is available. Most of the
pollution that originates from domestic animals could be
eliminated by simple and inexpensive measures.

Abstract: Two tile-drained potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
fields, approximately 5 ha (12.35 ac) each, at St. Leonard
d'Aston, Quebec, were instrumented to measure tile drain flow
over two growing seasons (April to November). The soil type
was a St. Jude sandy loam. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and
potassium (K) concentrations in tile drain flow were monitored
throughout the growing seasons. Nitrogen concentrations
ranging from 1.70 to 40.02 mg/L were observed. Phosphorus
concentrations ranged from 0.002 to 0.052 mg/L. On one field,
it was found that K concentrations were always less than 10
mg/L. However, on the other field, concentrations were mostly
greater than 10 mg/L. At the end of the growing season, in the
final year of the project, the total amounts of N which were
removed by the subsurface drainage systems of the two fields
were 14 kg/ha (12.5 lb/ac) and 70 kg/ha (62.5 lb/ac).

Abstract: Solute transport from soil to overland flow is an
important source of nonpoint pollution and was investigated
through tracer studies in the laboratory and at an outdoor
laboratory catchment. The depth of surface water interaction
with soil, defined as the mixing zone is a useful value for
approximate estimation of potential solute transport into
surface water under rainfall. It was measured in the
laboratory for a noninfiltration case (0.90 to 1.0 cm) and
estimated through mass balance modeling for an infiltration
case (0.52 and 0.73 cm). At an outdoor laboratory catchment,
mixing zones were calculated through calibration of a
numerical model that describes unsteady, uniform, infiltration
and chemical transport. Overland flow was simulated using
kinematic wave theory. Mixing zone depths ranged from 0.47 to
1.02 cm and were a linear function of rainfall intensity.
Also, the fraction of solute present in the mixing zone at the
time of ponding which was extracted into overland flow was a
linear function of the initial soil moisture content. A steady
state analytical approximation of the solute transport model
was also developed which overpredicted solute transport into
overland flow by 1 to 60%.

Abstract: An agricultural nonpoint source polluted stream in
northern Idaho was examined to determine seasonal and
longitudinal patterns of periphyton chlorophyll alpha.
Chlorophyll alpha was measured at eight sites along Lapwai
Creek, a fifth order stream impacted by agricultural runoff
containing nutrients and eroded soils. Seasonally, periphyton
chlorophyll alpha was lowest in the spring (cumulative x(-) =
60.4 mg m(-2)) and highest in the summer (cumulative average =
222 mg m(-2)). Winter concentrations were higher than expected
(cumulative average = 168.6 mg m(-2)). The headwaters, flowing
through an open grassy meadow, had the lowest concentrations
of the study (two-year average = 49.7 mg m(-2)). Immediately
below a small, eutrophic reservoir, periphyton chlorophyll
alpha increased markedly (two-year average = 155.8 mg m(-2))
and remained high through a deep canyon (two year average =
135.5 mg m(-2)) and down to the mouth of the stream (two-year
average = 172.3 mg(-2)). Periphyton chlorophyll alpha in
Lapwai Creek was at least two times greater than values
reported in the literature for comparable, undisturbed Idaho
streams. We suggest that increased nutrient concentrations via
agricultural nonpoint source pollution and increased light
penetration from the removal of large, woody riparian
vegetation have resulted in high periphyton chlorophyll alpha
along the continuum of Lapwai Creek.

Abstract: A regional assessment of non-point-source
contamination of pesticide residues in ground water was made
of the San Joaquin Valley, an intensively farmed and irrigated
structural trough in central California. About 10% of the
total pesticide use in the USA is in the San Joaquin Valley.
Pesticides detected include atrazine, bromacil, 2,4-DP,
diazinon, dibromochloropropane, 1,2-dibromoethane, dicamba,
1.2-dichloropropane, diuron, prometon, prometryn, propazine
and simazine. All are soil applied except diazinon. Pesticide
leaching is dependent on use patterns, soil texture, total
organic carbon in soil, pesticide half-life and depth to water
table. Leaching is enhanced by flood-irrigation methods except
where the pesticide is foliar applied such as diazinon. Soils
in the western San Joaquin Valley are fine grained and are
derived primarily from marine shales of the Coast Ranges.
Although shallow ground water is present, the fewest number of
pesticides were detected in this region. The fine-grained soil
inhibits pesticide leaching because of either low vertical
permeability or high surface area; both enhance adsorption on
to solid phases. Soils of the valley floor tend to be fine
grained and have low vertical permeability. Soils in the
eastern part of the valley are coarse grained with low total
organic carbon and are derived from Sierra Nevada granites.
Most pesticide leaching is in these alluvial soils,
particularly in areas where depth to ground water is less than
30 m. The areas currently most susceptible to pesticide
leaching are eastern Fresno and Tulare Counties. Tritium in
water molecules is an indicator of aquifer recharge with water
of recent origin. Pesticide residues transported as dissolved
species were not detected in non-tritiated water. Although
pesticides were not detected in all samples containing high
tritium, these samples are indicative of the presence of
recharge water that interacted with agricultural soils.

Abstract: The Po Valley is one of the most productive
agricultural areas in Europe and P losses from fertilizers are
often accused of being among the main factors responsible for
eutrophication of the Northern Adriatic Sea. To quantify
nonpoint phosphorus loads in this area, 15 small watersheds
were studied. Thirteen watersheds were in the intensive
agricultural area near the coast and two watersheds were in
the forested mountains. Land use in the watersheds was
carefully examined and P loads from various sources were
theoretically evaluated and experimentally measured. The
results indicate fertilization does not increase the losses of
P through leaching from the coastal soils, where the measured
release were in the range 0.03 to 0.21 kg P/ha per year with a
mean value of about 0.1 kg P/ha per year. There is, however, a
greater loss of P through soil erosion from the mountain
watersheds (0.6 kg/ha per year). It can be concluded that the
control of point sources must take priority over nonpoint
sources in efforts to reduce accelerated eutrophication of the
Northern Adriatic Sea.

Abstract: In programs for trading pollution abatement between
point and nonpoint sources, the trading ratio specifies the
rate at which nonpoint source abatement can be substituted for
point source abatement.The appropriate value of this ratio is
unclear because of qualitative differences between the two
classes of sources. To identify the optimal trading ratio, we
develop and analyze a model of point/nonpoint trading. We find
the optimal trading ratio depends on the relative costs of
enforcing point versus nonpoint reductions and on the
uncertainty associated with nonpoint loadings. The uncertainty
does not imply a lower bound for the optimal trading ratio.

Abstract: The growing problem of nonpoint source ground water
contamination from agricultural chemicals is conceptualized as
an historical outcome of the production environment of
capitalist agriculture in the Corn Belt. Chronic
overproduction and ground water contamination reveal different
aspects of the same technological treadmill. The debate over
Iowa's 1987 Ground Water Protection Act symbolizes the
contradiction between popular demand for clean water and
structural limits on policymaking. Although the Act does
provide for expanded research, education, and monitoring, a
coalition of commercial farmers, local chemical dealers, and
the national chemical industry defeated a tax on pesticide
use. Analysis of alternate policy responses--Best Management
Practices (BMPs), cross compliance, site-specific regulation
of chemical use, and taxation of synthetic chemicals--reveals
that all tend to founder on the same structural constraints.
Without practical, profitable, low-input technologies that
farmers, over time, would choose to adopt, both voluntary and
regulatory approaches encounter major political or
implementation difficulties. The public agricultural research
agenda, therefore, emerges as a central control variable for
ground water quality management and a central focus for
political struggle.

Abstract: Conceptual weaknesses in the use of costs of
average abatement as a measure of the cost effectiveness of
agricultural nonpoint pollution control are examined. A
probabilistic alternative is developed. The focus is on
methods for evaluating whole-farm pollution control plans
rather than individual practices. As a consequence, the
analysis is presented in a chance-constrained activity
analysis framework because activity analysis procedures are a
practical and well developed device for screening farm plans.
Reliability of control is shown to be as important as
reduction targets in designing farm plans for pollution
control. Furthermore, broad-axe prescriptions of technology in
the form of Best Management Practices may perform poorly with
respect to cost effectiveness.

Abstract: A conceptual framework of politics is set forth in
relation to the federal environmental legislative process.
This framework for analysis is then related to a hypothetical
public problem--ground water pollution from agricultural
chemicals. The public problem from the perspective of
political analysis is found to involve several different types
of difficult issues with which the legislative process must
deal if legislation is to be enacted.

Abstract: This paper develops a Bayesian framework for
discussing the role of information in the design of non-point-
source pollution control mechanisms. An ambient concentration
tax is examined, allowing for spatial transport among multiple
zones. Imposition of the tax requires costly measurement of
concentrations in selected zones, and the selection of zones
for measurement must be undertaken without perfect information
regarding several parameters of the problem. Potentially
crucial information issues discussed include: (a) the impact
of asymmetric priors regarding fate and transport. (b) the
cost of measuring ambient concentration, and (c) the optimal
acquisition of information regarding fate and transport.

Abstract: Research at the University of Iowa is testing the
ECOLOTREE BUFFER, a prototype wooded buffer strip planted
between a creek and row-cropped land with roots grown
intentionally deep enough to intersect the near-surface water
table. This project demonstrates that Populus spp. trees
cultured by using this technique are both ecologically
sustaining and productive. Measured data prove that nitrate is
removed from near-surface groundwater and that the nitrogen
uptake is present as protein in the leaves and the woody
stems. The tree's physiological attributes contribute to a
harvested value that can "pay its way"; these include fast
wood growth, cut-stem rooting, resprouting from a stump,
phreatophytic roots, and a high protein content in the leaves.
The wooded riparian strip changes the local agroecosystem by
reducing fertilizer nutrients causing surface water
eutrophication, by diversifying wildlife habitat, by reducing
soils erosion caused by wind and water, by diversifying the
crop base, by creating an aesthetic addition in the landscape.
This idea is a potential technique for managing non-point
source pollutants created by modern farming practices.

Abstract: CREAMS was applied to a field-sized watershed
planted to cotton in the Limestone Valley region of northern
Alabama. The field was cultivated for three years with
conventional tillage (CvT) followed by three years or
conservation tillage (CsT). CREAMS is composed of three
components: hydrology, erosion, and chemistry. Surface runoff
and losses of sediment, N and P were simulated and results
were compared with the observed data from the watershed. Curve
numbers recommended in the CREAMS user's guide were not
adequate for the watershed conditions. The hydrology submodel
improved runoff simulation from CvT and CsT when field-data
based curve numbers were used. The erosion submodel
demonstrated that CsT reduced sediment loss more than CvT,
even though CsT had higher runoff than CvT. The nutrient
submodel based on the simulated runoff and sediment
underpredicted N loss for both CvT and CsT. This submodel,
however, accurately predicted P loss for CvT, but
underpredicted for CsT (50 percent lower than the observed).
The results of CREAMS simulation generally matched the
observed order of magnitude for higher runoff, lower sediment,
and higher N and P losses from CsT than from CvT.

Abstract: A spatial decision support system (SDSS) was
developed to assess agricultural nonpoint source (NPS)
pollution using an NPS pollution model and geographic
information systems (GIS). With minimal user interaction, the
SDSS assists with extracting the input parameters for a
distributed parameter NPS pollution model from user-supplied
GIS base layers. Thus, significant amounts of time, labor, and
expertise can be saved. Further, the SDSS assists with
visualizing and analyzing the output of the NPS pollution
simulations. Capabilities of the visualization component
include displays of sediment, nutrient, and runoff movement
from a watershed. The input and output interface
techniques/algorithms used to develop the SDSS, along with an
example application of the SDSS, are described.

Abstract: The AGNPS (Agricultural NonPoint Source) model was
evaluated for predicting runoff and sediment delivery from
small watersheds of mild topography. Fifty sediment yield
events were monitored from two watersheds and five nested
subwatersheds in East Central Illinois throughout the growing
season of four years. Half of these events were used to
calibrate parameters in the AGNPS model. Average calibrated
parameters were used as input for the remaining events to
obtain runoff and sediment yield data. These data were used to
evaluate the suitability of the AGNPS model for predicting
runoff and sediment yield from small, mild-sloped watersheds.
An integrated AGNPS/GIS system was used to efficiently create
the large number of data input changes necessary to this
study. This system is one where the AGNPS model was integrated
with the GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System)
GIS (Geographical Information System) to develop a decision
support tool to assist with management of runoff and erosion
from agricultural watersheds. The integrated system assists
with the development of input GIS layers to AGNPS, running the
model, and interpretation of the results.

NAL DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES
June 1993
United States Department of Agriculture
National Agricultural Library
Public Services Division
Document Delivery Services Branch
Beltsville, Maryland 20705-2351
The National Agricultural Library has established document delivery service
policies for three user categories. They are 1) individuals; 2) libraries,
other information centers, and commercial organizations; and 3) foreign
libraries, information centers, and commercial organizations. Available
services for each user category are given below. For information
on electronic access for interlibrary loan requests, the "Interlibrary Loan"
file.
1) DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS
The National Agricultural Library (NAL) supplies agricultural
materials not found elsewhere to other libraries.
Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources diverts
NAL's resources and diminishes its ability to serve as a national source for
agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL is viewed as
a library of last resort. SUBMIT REQUESTS FIRST TO LOCAL OR STATE LIBRARY
SOURCES PRIOR TO SENDING TO NAL. In the United States, possible sources are
public libraries, land-grant university or other large research libraries
within a state. In other countries submit requests through major university,
national, or provincial institutions.
If the needed publications are not available from these sources,
submit requests to NAL with a statement indicating their
non-availability. Submit one request per page following the
instructions for libraries below.
NAL'S DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE INFORMATION FOR THE LIBRARY
The following information is provided to assist your librarian in
obtaining the required materials.
LOAN SERVICE -- Materials in NAL's collection are loaned only to
other U.S. libraries. Requests for loans are made through local
public, academic, or special libraries.
The following materials are not available for loan: serials (except USDA
serials); rare, reference, and reserve books; microforms; and proceedings of
conferences or symposia. Photocopy or microform of non-circulating
publications may be purchased as described below.
DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE -- Photocopies of articles are available for a fee.
Make requests through local public, academic, or special libraries. The
library will submit a separate interlibrary loan form for each article or item
requested. If the citation is from an NAL database (CAIN/AGRICOLA,
"Bibliography of Agriculture,"
or the NAL Catalog) and the call number is given, put that call
number in the proper block on the request form. Willingness to pay charges
must be indicated on the form. Include compliance with copyright law or a
statement that the article is for "research purposes only" on the interlibrary
loan form or letter. Requests cannot be processed without these statements.
Please read copyright notice below.
CHARGES:
* Photocopy, hard copy of microfilm and microfiche - $5.00 for
the first 10 pages or fraction copied from a single article or
publication. $3.00 for each additional 10 pages or fraction.
* Duplication of NAL-owned microfilm - $10.00 per reel.
* Duplication of NAL-owned microfiche - $5.00 for the first
fiche and $ .50 for each additional fiche per title.
BILLING - Charges include postage and handling, and are subject to change.

(NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Establishing a deposit
account with NTIS is encouraged. DO NOT SEND PREPAYMENT.

3) DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES AVAILABLE TO FOREIGN LIBRARIES,
INFORMATION CENTERS AND COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.
The National Agricultural Library (NAL) accepts requests from
libraries and other organizations in accordance with the national
and international interlibrary loan code and guidelines.
In its national role, NAL supplies copies of agricultural materials not found
elsewhere. Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources
diverts NAL's resources and diminishes its ability to serve as a national
source for agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL
is viewed as a library of last resort.
Submit requests to major university libraries, national or
provincial institutions or network sources prior to sending
requests to NAL. If the needed publications are not available from these
sources, submit requests to NAL with a statement indicating their
non-availability.
AGLINET -- Requesters in countries with an AGLINET library are
encouraged to make full use of that library and its networking
capabilities. As an AGLINET participant, NAL provides free
document delivery service for materials published in the United
States to other AGLINET participants.
REQUESTS -- Submit requests on the American Library Association
(ALA) or the International Federation of Library Associations and
Institutions (IFLA) interlibrary loan form or via electronic mail
or telefacsimile (see over for more details). Include the complete name of the
person authorizing the request on each form; the standard bibliographic source
which lists the title as owned by NAL; and the call number if the citation is
from an NAL database(CAIN/AGRICOLA, "Bibliography of Agriculture", or the NAL
catalog).
DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE -- Submit a separate completed
interlibrary loan form for each article requested. Indicate
willingness to pay charges on the form, and compliance with
copyright law or include a statement that the article is for
"research purposes only". Requests cannot be processed without
these statements. Please read copyright notice below.
CHARGES:
* Photocopy, hard copy of microfilm and microfiche - $5.00 for
the first 10 pages or fraction copied from a single article or
publication. $3.00 for each additional 10 pages or fraction.
* Duplication of NAL-owned microfilm - $10.00 per reel.
* Duplication of NAL-owned microfiche - $5.00 for the first
fiche and $ .50 for each additional fiche per title.
BILLING - Charges include postage and handling, and are subject to change.
Invoices are issued quarterly by the National Technical Information Service
(NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Establishing deposit
account with NTIS is encouraged. Annual billing is available to foreign
