Hydrology
Agricultural runoff refers to the water that flows over agricultural land and carries away dissolved nutrients, pesticides, and other contaminants into nearby water bodies. This process often occurs after rainfall or irrigation, as excess water collects and moves across fields, picking up pollutants along the way. The impacts of agricultural runoff are significant, affecting both vadose zone hydrology and contributing to various types of water pollution.
