A Non-Point Source Pollution Control Program for Agriculture in Georgia

Proceedings of the 1993 Georgia Water Resources Conference, April 20-21, 1993, Athens, Georgia.Programs centered around water resources often tend to dwell on specific projects and actions with little emphasis on broader efforts - especially in rural areas. It is necessary to note that soil is still the worst pollutant in terms of volume and that most of the soil is transported from agricultural lands. Broad-based programs to reduce rural non-point source pollutants are key elements of state water resource issues and should be a consideration in all information and education endeavors.Sponsored and Organized by: U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThis book was published by the Institute of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 with partial funding provided by the U.S. Department of Interior, Geological Survey, through the Georgia Water Research Institute as authorized by the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-242).
