This Case Study paper includes four examples of cases concerning agricultural runoff and water pollution, preceded by a section defining NPS pollution and detailing its various known causes. The four case studies were intentionally chosen from different parts of the world with quite different environmental conditions. First was the Lower Bhavani River basin in India – an extremely rural area where fairly primitive agricultural methods are employed by villagers living in basic conditions. The second example was the Rhine valley in Europe; a highly developed and industrialized part of the world. Third of the examples used was the Lower Fraser Valley in ...
