Guide on setting up buffer zones to limit the transfer of farm contaminants | Guides et protocoles |
This guide sums up the currently available knowledge on setting up buffer zones to limit the transfer of farm substances (pesticides, nutrients) to aquatic environments.
Methods and tools to control agricultural nonpoint-source pollution for managers of water resources - n°26 | Rencontres |
Local governments are frequently confronted with the problem of managing agricultural nonpoint-source pollution. This type of pollution is one of the main causes of the degradation of water bodies in France and Europe. How can its management be improved and its impacts reduced? What are the tools and methods now available to water managers to effectively counter the pollution?
Drinking-water abstractions and nonpoint-source pollution - n°10 | Rencontres |
Protection of drinking-water abstractions from nonpoint-source agricultural pollution was already a major health issue 30 years ago and has today become an urgent regulatory problem. In parallel with the Water framework directive, which set goals for good water status by 2015, the Grenelle environmental agreement identified 500 priority abstractions for which action plans must be set up by 2012. The wide-ranging discussions produced a vast array of information on people’s experiences, technical solutions, opinions and questions. A review.
Drinking-water abstractions and nonpoint-source pollution. Operational solutions for supply zones of priority water abstractions | Rencontres-synthèse |
Protecting water abstractions from the nonpoint-source pollution released in large part by farming activities is a crucial challenge for our societies. The Large-scale farming offering high economic and environmental performance scientific group (GIS GC-HP2E) brought together a number of participants to discuss these complex issues. This document recapitulates the projects presented, the viewpoints and the scientific contributions made during the meeting.
