Nonpoint Source Pollution Control by Soil and Water Conservation Practices

ABSTRACT THERE has been a tendency to equate best manage-ment practices, as defined in water quality legisla-tion, with soil and water conservation practices. The effectiveness of SWCP's at controlling potential pollut-ants other than sediment depends on the characteristics of pollutants. Pollutants have been categorized in groups having distinctly different soil adsorption properties which have been related to the effect of SWCP's on water and soil movement.
