File Name : A review of on-farm roadway runoff characterisation and potential management options for Ireland. Fenton et al. (2021), 22 pgs.
The issue of roadway runoff (RR), i.e. mineral and organic pollutants on farms conveyed along farm roadways, has gained recognition in recent years. Recent legislation in Ireland prohibits direct runoff from farm roadways into adjacent water courses. There remains, however, a lack of literature on the nature and scale of the problem, available management options and impacts of RR on surface water quality. This review presents evidence for the varied content and composition of RR, the nature of conveyance of RR and the existing management options, with a look to developing further options.
