Increasingly, irrigators and irrigation districts are being called on to modify their operations to benefit water quality in surface and groundwater affected by agriculture. Typical problems deal with total dissolved solids (TDS), sediment, nutrients and related biological oxygen demand (BOD), toxic elements such as selenium and pesticides.
