Extract

A major environmental problem is the loss of recreational and asthetic values for bodies of water resulting from accelerated eutrophication. Eutrophication is only part of the concern over increased nitrate levels. More important, several streams have been found to have nitrate concentrations above U. S. Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards of 45 mg/l. Given agriculture's use of nutrients, agriculture's contribution to the nitrogen and phosphorus content of water needs to be evaluated.
