Fortunately, most damage caused by Agricultural Runoff can be prepared. Scientists, Farmers and communities have come together to find possible solutions to fix various types of problems caused by Agricultural Runoff. Some states have made laws while others have made programs getting their community involved in order to protect the ocean from pollution. There are different ways that each group of people have contributed to make their community a better place. Anyone from agencies to the general population, can be responsible for preventing eutrophication in bodies of water like rivers and the ocean .From methods easy as recycling to that of developing new way to grow crops. Outcomes from the solutions have had a big effect on most of the damage that has occurred. Not only are these new methods for helping the ocean but also for helping the people.
The states that have made laws protecting the environment have made dramatic reductions. The government has also done their part by encouraging cleaner ways of managing water. Not all states may have laws or their governments taking part in cleaning up their community. The places that don't have the kind of big help they need have found a way to get their community to participate. Some ways they have made this possible is by coming up with programs alerting people of what is going on around them of which they may be unaware of. They have come up with programs that promote recycling and the best way to eliminate waste.
Scientists and Farmers have come together to use new methods that aren't harmful to the environment or people. Both scientists and farmers are developing new ways to grow crops. They have come up with ways that requires less use of fertilizers and pesticides.One method that farmers use to prevent harmful fertilizers from entering oceans is by rotating crops, in doing so the rotation of crops helps replace nitrogen loss from soil. By rotating crops it helps get rid of plant disease and controls pest. Instead of using synthetic fertilizers releasing harmful pesticides , farmers release bacteria and other insects that eats pests.Even DDT manufacturers have done their share by disposing their liquid waste at a landfill instead of using the sewers.
There has also been the use of creating buffer zones. Which have helped reduced the chemicals that runoff into streams. Another solution has been the interception of non-point pollution. Which is blocked between the source of pollution and water. Most solutions suggested or tested out have worked well reducing the chemicals that run into rivers later running into the ocean. While other solutions have not had as much an effect or any at all.
These new methods used by scientists have been accomplished by the help of new technology allowing them to use their knowledge of how Agricultural Runoff works and combining them with the use of finding ways to make the pesticides in the fertilizer less harmful. One approach scientists have tried was the genetic engineering of plants.Which are made to be resistant to certain pesticides.They have found ways to prevent the process of using harmful chemicals. While farmers have stuck to their simple ways of organic farming. By using solutions that are completely natural like releasing their own insects as a substitute for fertilizer.
