Nutrient Management - Protecting Water Resources from Manure and Biosolids
Collection of material on protecting water resources from contamination by manure, biosolids, and other land applications of nutrients
The Walkerton water tragedy, the proliferation of industrial farming operations, the land application of sewage sludge or biosolids, and just routine farming operations are all examples of the need for nutrient management. Surface and groundwater can become excessively contaminated with harmful microorganisms when nutrients are not managed appropriately.
In the wake of the Walkerton Inquiry, nutrient management efforts continue alongside efforts to ensure safe drinking water sources. Collected below are publications, articles and media releases on this topic.
