Use contour plowing, and plant lines of trees and tall grasses to provide vegetative buffers to reduce runoff and soil erosion.
Some organic farms use no-till methods (not plowing) this greatly reduces the amount of soil lost to erosion.
Pesticides and nitrates from fertilizers, and animal are a major cause of water pollution. It is estimated that farmers spray 10lbs of chemicals on each acre, and 20% of the chemicals runoff into local rivers and streams. The reduction of chemical pesticides and fertilizers help.
Also, the creation of a wetland or marsh around the area helps to take up the nitrates from fertilizers and animal wastes.
