Section F - Occurrence, Distribution, and Transport of Agricultural
Chemicals in the Midwest
Section F contains papers on the environmental fate of agricultural chemicals
in the Midwest. The papers describe the occurrence, distribution, and transport
of agricultural chemicals in ground water, streams, large rivers, reservoirs,
and precipitation at regional to test plot scales. Examples of specific
topics in this section are papers on the relation of nitrate concentrations
in surface water to land use, the persistence of herbicides in reservoirs,
and the results of a reconnaissance of pesticides in near-surface aquifers.
The final eight papers in this section present results from the Management
Systems Evaluation Areas (MSEA) program, which is part of an interagency
research program to evaluate the effects of agricultural-management (farming)
systems on water quality.
