Soil Processes and Water Quality

Agrochemicals & agricultural practices have a tremendous impact on environmental quality, particularly their role in water quality degradation. Soil Processes & Water Quality examines principles & practices that minimize the risks of water pollution while enhancing agricultural intensification & productivity. It focuses on how agricultural practices-such as tillage methods, use of fertilizers & manures, cropping systems, & the use of agrochemicals & pest control measures-impact soil processes & affect water quality. Extensive coverage of such topics as water contamination by runoff, leaching, macropore flow, & sediments is also included. Rapid increases in the use of agrochemicals make Soil Processes & Water Quality an indispensable reference for soil scientists, water quality professionals, researchers, environmental chemists, agrochemicals professionals, government agency employees, academic instructors, agronomists, & students.
