Improving water quality (Price, P. and Lovett, S.) |
2002 |
Streams can be contaminated by a range of material from adjacent land. This can include soil particles (sediment), nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, salt, plant material from crops, chemicals, and microbes. This Fact Sheet details options to improve water quality in streams, including filter strips, timing and placement of fertiliser and managing stock access. |

Soil factors influencing eutrophication. In: Soil Guide - a handbook for understanding and managing agricultural soils. (Weaver W. and Summers, R.) |
1998 |
Eutrophication is essentially the nutrient enrichment of waterways leading to algal growth. Soils are closely linked to eutrophication processes because their characteristics influence the delivery of soil particles and nutrients to waterways. This report section describes some of the principles of eutrophication and then elaborates on some soil criteria influencing the problem. |
