Book Description
Excerpt from The Magnitude and Costs of Groundwater Contamination From Agricultural Chemicals: A National Perspective This report assesses the scope and costs of groundwater contamination caused by agricultural fertilizers and pesticides in the United States. While other agricultural activities such as livestock operations may contaminate groundwater in some localities, we focus on crop chemicals because of their broad-scale use across diverse regions of the country. We combine data from a variety of sources to develop an overview of regions potentially affected by agriculturally induced chemical contamination of groundwater. The report also summarizes the types of damages incurred by agriculturally polluted groundwater along with an appraisal of the costs of preventing potential damages to health and property. The costs of these damages represent the benefits of groundwater protection. The policies and programs now being put into place by several States, including Arizona, California, and Wisconsin, and under discussion by other States and the u.s. Environmental Protection Agency (epa), require a better understanding of the benefits of groundwater protection. Only when the benefits are well understood can they be compared with the social and agricultural costs of alternative prevention and control measures, leading to the identification of efficient policy options.

Book Description
Pesticides in groundwater can contaminate drinking water and threaten the health of communities. How does this contamination occur and what should be done about this pressing problem? This new book uses a case-study approach to describe the discovery of the problem in four major agricultural states, to summarize the most recent data on the problem, and to review the status of the problem from both technological and policy perspectives. It also addresses the controversial questions of what levels of residues are acceptable, who should bear the costs of drinking water that is already contaminated, and how federal scientific resources can best be used to aid state initiatives in addressing this problem.
