Publications library Nitrate levels in many English waters, both ground and surface waters, are increasing. Nitrate pollution is of concern because it has to be removed before water can be supplied to consumers, and it can harm the water environment. Over 70% of nitrate enters water from agricultural land. The following pages provide details of action to reduce agricultural nitrate pollution, which is one aspect of the broader problem of diffuse pollution from agriculture. We are also taking action to reduce similar pollution from other sources. For example, the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive aims to reduce pollution, including nitrate pollution, from sewage treatment works and industry.

Overcoming Agricultural Water Pollution In The European Union - Finance & Develo
Overcoming Agricultural water pollution in the European Union. Controlling water pollution from agriculture is made difficult by its particular nature.
http://www.worldbank.org/fandd/english/0996/articles/0100996.htm

Extractions: Contents Back Issues Search Subscribe SUSANNE M. SCHEIERLING As the European Union's member countries make progress on controlling water pollution from homes and industry, their attention is turning to reducing water pollution from agriculture. Their experience shows that this can be achieved only through further integration of agricultural and environmental policies. GRICULTURAL water pollution is becoming a major concern not only in developed regions such as the European Union (EU) but also in many developing countries. The intensification of agricultural practicesin particular, the growing use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the specialization and concentration of crop and livestock productionhas had an increasing impact on water quality. The main agricultural water pollutants are nitrates, phosphorus, and pesticides. Rising nitrate concentrations threaten the quality of drinking water, while high pesticide use contributes substantially to indirect emissions of toxic substances. Increasing levels of nitrates and phosphorus in surface waters reduce their ability to support plant and animal life and make them less attractive for recreation. Policy challenges A policy for controlling agricultural water pollution needs to specify the level of water quality desired and what measures should be adopted to achieve this goal. Various problems, including incomplete information about the costs and benefits of pollution abatement, make it difficult to determine the optimal level of water quality in terms of economic efficiency. Therefore, the choice is often made based on other criteria, such as human health concerns or the protection of current uses of the water.

http://www.manly.nsw.gov.au/greatestate

Extractions: anly Council has joined forces with the NSW Government Stormwater Trust and the University of Western Sydney (UWS) to develop a unique program linking environmental education, water quality monitoring, infrastructure provision and legislation to address concerns about ecosystem health in the catchment of Balgowlah Industrial Estate. The project is funded by the EPA as part of their $80 million effort to combat urban stormwater pollution in New South Wales. The Great Estate Stormwater Environmental Education Program (SEEP) is an environmental education program for companies in the Balgowlah Industrial Estate. It is an opportunity for responsible local business operators to become involved in a program that aims to ensure that our creeks, lagoons and beaches are kept pollution free for the native animals and plants that live there and also for recreational purposes and our future generations. Over 100 businesses in this area have been recognised as having a medium to high risk in terms of actual or potential stormwater pollution problems. The program is designed to address the issue of polluted stormwater runoff from these premises.

Extractions: Water Pollution Control Plant About the Plant The San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant is one of the largest advanced wastewater treatment facilities in California. It treats and cleans the wastewater of over 1,500,000 people that live and work in the 300-square mile area encompassing San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Monte Sereno. The Water Pollution Control Plant has the capacity to treat 167,000,000 gallons of wastewater per day. It is located in Alviso, at the southernmost tip of the San Francisco Bay. Originally constructed in 1956, the Plant had the capacity to treat 36,000,000 gallons of water per day and only provided primary treatment. In 1964, the Plant added a secondary treatment process to its system. In 1979, the Plant upgraded its wastewater treatment process to an advanced, tertiary system. Wastewater from sinks, toilets, and drains inside homes, businesses and schools in most of Santa Clara Valley travels through an underground pipe system, known as the sanitary sewer system, before it arrives for treatment at the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant. That journey can take up to 10 hours. About 18 hours later, 99% of the impurities have been removed through a highly sophisticated treatment process that simulates the way nature purifies water, but at a greatly accelerated rate.

http://www.msnucleus.org/watersheds/tule/plantstguid.html

Extractions: Effects of Water Pollution on Plants Students will perform an experiment in which they will observe how water pollution is absorbed into plants. Only pure water is evaporated, while other substances are left behind. As a result these impurities become part of the water system. All water eventually flows to the oceans. In Fremont, water flows into the San Francisco Bay through a series of creeks and sloughs. Waters running off the west side of the Fremont section of the Diablo Range fill creeks all along the mountain side. These stream waters are joined by waters flowing through city storm drains as well as water run-off from the various farmlands around Fremont. Run-off water may drop into Tyson Lagoon or Lake Elizabeth along the way. The streams enter the bay through the Alameda Flood Channel, Newark Slough, Plummer Creek, Mowry Slough and Mud Slough. Pollution anywhere along this pathway will find its way into the bay. Plants, animals, and microorganisms are all affected by pollution found in the creeks and ponds along the pathway to the bay. Below is information that will help you prepare and conduct the experiment on water pollution. Read all the information before beginning the experiment with your class. The

We hope you'll use this site for watershed pollution prevention action projects and resources to help you, your agency, school, business or organization make a difference for clean water. Our mission is to foster public awareness of, involvement in and support for stormwater pollution prevention. We accomplish this through community-based storm drain stenciling and related programs in local watersheds.
Water Pollution
water pollution. The question immediately arises if the pollutants are nontoxic, how can they have such serious consequences for waters receiving them?
http://www.enfo.ie/leaflets/bs11.htm

Extractions: THE simplest definition of water pollution is "the loss of any of the actual or potential beneficial uses of water caused by any change in its composition due to human activity". The beneficial uses of water are varied and include its use for drinking and for domestic purposes, for watering livestock and the irrigation of crops, for fisheries - both game [salmonid] and coarse [cyprinid], for industry and for food production, for bathing and for recreational and amenity use. If water is rendered unsuitable for any of these purposes then it is polluted to a greater or lesser degree depending on the extent of the damage caused. The inclusion of the word human in the definition is necessary because water may be naturally impaired in quality either temporarily or permanently. NATURAL WATER Pure water- H2O - water absolutely free from any substances dissolved in it - does not exist outside the laboratory, as natural water contains dissolved gases and salts. - These substances which are often the very factors which make the water suitable for particular beneficial uses. Water must have an adequate level of dissolved oxygen if fish are to thrive - without it they will die. (As explained later, the great majority of pollution instances on our rivers are attributable to the depletion of the dissolved oxygen, leading to various highly undesirable effects.) Again, drinking water without dissolved oxygen and with only a very low level of dissolved salts, is not very palatable: it is the level of salts in solution - as natural hardness, for example - which gives many waters their palatability.
