| Summary |
This document represents the final report of NRSP project R7111, 'Review of currently available information on pollution of coastal waters by sediments and agro-chemicals: Issues in watershed management, transfer of agro-pollutants and sediments and their impact in coastal zones'. The report presents and assesses information on four types of agricultural pollution (soil erosion leading to siltation, nutrient enrichment, pesticide contamination and agro-industrial pollution) and identifies gaps in knowledge that may be amenable to researchable solutions.
