File Name : Effects of agricultural land management changes on surface water quality: A review of meso-scale catchment research. Melland et al. (2018), 6pgs.
The positive water quality effects of a range of agricultural practices were reviewed to assess their effectiveness and the timescale by which their benefits were exhibited. These practices included improved landscape engineering, improved crop management and reductions in farming intensity. The study recommends that policy makers intending to implement environmental management practices consider the spatial and temporal scales by which specific measures are effective and measurable.
