__ 10. What are some of the agricultural practices that pollute water? __

Some agricultural practices that can pollute water include:1. Overuse of fertilizers and pesticides: Excessive application of these chemicals can lead to runoff into nearby water bodies, causing contamination.2. Irrigation practices: Inefficient irrigation systems can result in water wastage and potential contamination of groundwater or surface water.3. Livestock farming: Concentrated animal feeding operations can produce large amounts of waste, which if not properly managed, can contaminate water sources.4. Crop cultivation: Certain crops require large amounts of water and fertilizers, leading to potential water pollution if not managed properly.5. can lead to erosion, causing sedimentation and turbidity in water bodies.6. Pesticide application: Direct application of pesticides on crops can result in runoff into water bodies, contaminating them.7. Manure management: Improper storage and disposal of animal waste can lead to contamination of groundwater and surface water.8. Livestock waste: Inadequate management of livestock waste can result in contamination of water sources.9. Fertilizer application: Over-application of fertilizers can lead to nutrient runoff into water bodies, causing eutrophication and algal blooms.10. Crop rotation: Improper crop rotation practices can lead to soil degradation and increased risk of water pollution.
