| Summary: | amount of runoff and pollution transport from row cropped and pollution to receiving streams. Best management areas. Three automated sampling sites were set up to collect counties. The study also looked at rangeland and row cropped cropped farmland. The third site was set up to sample on a events. The implications of these findings are that, where familand to estimate which land use type produced more runoff farming along the Colorado River in Travis and Bastrop form of nutrients, pesticides and suspended solids. This how to implement and maintain best management practices to lakes and streams. One of the contributors of pollution to less pollutants to receiving waters. The findings from this less runoff @ row cropped areas and therefore contributes Much attention is being focused on water quality in rivers, obtain optimal benefits. possible, efforts should be made to implement best management practices to reduce the amount of runoff and pollution to practices were also looked at as a means of limiting the practices. The accepted convention is that rangeland produces produced in subwatersheds from corn, grain sorghum and cotton project generally support this. Additionally, it was found, receiving waters. Producers also need to be educated as to rivers, lakes and streams is runoff from agriculture in the row cropped farm that employed certain best management set up to sample from streams that drained subwatersheds of a significantly reduced the amount of runoff and pollutants study was designed to look at the amount of these substances subwatershed consisted primarily of rangeland and pastureland that move off site from row cropped areas during rainfall the form of terracing, contour plowing and filter strips through computer modeling, that best management practices in tributary to the Colorado River. The land use at one water samples after rainfall events. Two of the sites were while the land use at the other site consisted mainly of row |
