Providing a comprehensive spread of views from farmers, regulators and environmental managers, this book is pertinent to the increasing concern over diffuse pollutant sources (mainly from farming) to water bodies and the environment.;Containing practical case histories and studies of the impact of agriculture (with the use of intensive farming, modern fertilizers and other chemicals) on the environment, this book presents contributions from both sides of the argument and attempts to provide a better understanding and appreciation of the differing views.;The present conflicting situation and guidelines for the future are considered with a summary of impressions and comments given for each contribution. The discussion/answer sections enhance the interest value of the book which will, considering our increasingly environmentally conscious climate, be a useful addition to the literature.
