The role of best management practices in alleviating water quality problems associated with diffuse pollution.
This paper introduces the concept of best management practices for the control of diffuse pollution. It considers where they are appropriate, and how the concept of a best management practice approach differs from the conventional means of controlling pollution by regulating each point source, in relation to established environmental quality standards and available dilution.
