Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the factors that contribute to the risk of ground water contamination from the use of agricultural chemicals. The authors developed indexes to assess the vulnerability of ground water to pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers based on soil properties, chemical use, and rainfall patterns. Their analysis reveals that areas with the highest risk of ground water contamination are the Coastal Plains stretching from Alabama to the Chesapeake Bay area, the Corn Belt States, the Mississippi River Valley, and irrigated areas in the West. However, this risk is heterogeneous: not all cropland is vulnerable to leaching, and even in areas with a high potential for contamination, there are regions where the risk is minimal. The book highlights the geographic diversity of this risk, highlighting the need for site -specific, practical solutions to safeguard ground water resources from the potential impacts of agricultural chemical use.
