soil run-off

It is difficult to integrate all factors for evaluating the amount of soil run-off from site to site.

Moreton Bay has been affected by soil run-off.

The marine environment is protected from soil run-off during heavy rainfall by the mangrove root structure.

Oyster production is severely affected by acid sulfate soil run-off and other pollutants.

Maximum water and soil run-off from skidding trail (m3/m).

It's a wetting agent which helps reduce soil run-off and makes sure the plant is getting water where it needs it most - the root zone.

Coastal urban and industrial development has resulted in sewage discharges, contaminated stormwater and soil run-off and, industrial waste discharges.

Essentially, when Vetiveria nigritana is planted in hedgerows surrounding a crop or in multiple spaced rows, it creates a barrier that prevents soil run-off.

The Council of Mayors is looking at vegetation along waterways to see what can be done to reduce soil run-off that can impact on residents and the environment further downstream.

Fear of Cattle Waste The scare began when recent heavy rains caused a soil run-off into a reservoir, overwhelming its filtration system and resulting in a cloudy water condition known as turbidity.

Moreton Bay's sea grass beds and corals are subject to ongoing threat from soil run-off caused by agriculture in the Lockyer Valley and construction activity in south east Queensland.

Recent heavy rains triggered a soil run-off into a reservoir that supplies the District of Columbia and some northern Virginia cities, overwhelming the filtration system and causing cloudiness, or turbidity, in the water.

Coliform bacteria is present in animal waste and sewage but may also be found in soil and vegetation, therefore these bacteria may originate from septic system leachate, animal manure or soil run-off.

Professor Jon Olley, a member of the Healthy Waterways Scientific Panel, and a member of the Australian Rivers Institute said soil run-off was again having an impact on seagrass beds in Moreton Bay.

From: Amanda Bainbridge Comment: Drilling "sample holes" for oil, tankers running aground and coastline soil run-off going into the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is OK in GBRMPA's book because the real danger is fishermen.
