| Abstract/Contents: | Public concern over groundwater contamination has grown in the last decade. Whereas the public concern formerly was with pathogens, more recently chemical contamination is a more pervasive problem. "Best management practices (BMPs) are methods, measures, or practices designed to prevent or reduce pollution, specifically nonpoint-source pollution problems. Agricultural BMPs can be categorized according to environmental objective, target pollutant, environmental media affected, and the management approach of the specific practice or structural measure. Conservation practices and BMPs for specific environmental objectives include control of erosion, eutrophication, salinity, water quality improvement, and proper waste management. BMPs for groundwater protection must consider several factors, including conditions that permit significant movement of infiltrating water to groundwater, solubility and soil affinity of the specific pollutant, pollutant loadings, and the ability of the specific BMP to alter any of these conditions. Pesticide contamination of groundwater is both compound-specific and site-specific, suggesting that the problem is not so widespread as that of nitrate contamination. For nitrate, the most effective approach is restricting application rate to coincide with crop requirements. Developed by the environmental and agricultural agencies, the BMP approach is a means of addressing nonpoint-source problems in a manner compatible with the traditional, voluntary approach to resource management. Long-term monitoring, over years or even decades, is needed to determine accurately the effectiveness of BMPs at a realistic field scale." |
