Fertilizer (and pesticide) contaminates water draining from:
* Golf courses * Farms * Urban and suburban residential areas * Fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing, sales and transfer sites
A common pollutant found in road runoff is petroleum-based products such as oil, gasoline, and diesel. These pollutants can come from vehicle leaks, spills, and exhaust emissions, and can contaminate water sources if not properly managed.
Surface runoff and Subsurface runoff. Basically, above ground and below ground
It is called runoff
Another name for surface runoff is overland flow.
Runoff abstractions refer to the portion of precipitation that is prevented from entering a water body due to interception, infiltration, or evaporation. It is essentially the amount of water that does not contribute to surface runoff. The relationship between runoff abstractions and precipitation is that as precipitation increases, the amount of water available for abstractions also increases, potentially impacting the overall runoff volume.
it has extra nutrients or pollutants
lakes/rivers/lakes/dams/drinking reservoirs/ Regarding actual types of runoff, pesticides would most likely be found in farm and agricultural runoff resulting from ploughed furrows between crops.
A common pollutant found in road runoff is petroleum-based products such as oil, gasoline, and diesel. These pollutants can come from vehicle leaks, spills, and exhaust emissions, and can contaminate water sources if not properly managed.
Runoff is water that flows over the ground surface. Snowmelt runoff is runoff from melting snow.
Think about it. What is in a car? There are several forms of liquids in a car that leak out. These go onto the road and it rains and that becomes runoff. You know the answer.
Runoff from rain and runoff from melting snow (which is NOT the same as glacial runoff).
New construction allowed runoff from hillsides which flooded basements in nearby homes.Runoff naturally seeks a path of least resistance.Continual runoff can undermine hills, leading to mudslides and ground failures.
runoff caused by construction working
acid rain comes from chemicals in the clouds, not runoff there is no "car runoff" runoff is from the slanted ground into water bodies
runoff
There are no stromwatrer runoff problems in Arizona, but there are stormwater runoff problems
Surface runoff and Subsurface runoff. Basically, above ground and below ground
