A farm-scale risk-index for reducing fecal contamination of surface waters.

Abstract:

:There is increasing recognition of the adverse impacts of agricultural practices on microbial water quality leading to increased expectation on farmers to manage environmental impacts on water quality. Therefore, farmers require a tool to help them prioritize mitigations targeted at reducing fecal contamination of surface water. A farm-scale risk-index was developed from modeled data on the predicted losses of from selected farm practices. The farm-scale data were then converted to a catchment scale risk value and calibrated against stream concentration data measured in five catchments. The data from the five catchments indicate that there is a relationship between the risk of losses from some farm practices and the resulting levels in the streams. The results show that the adoption of existing mitigation options for fecal contamination should result in a substantial reduction of concentrations in streams flowing through catchments used for intensive dairy farming. However, the relatively high concentrations in the stream when the calculated risk-index values are low indicate that currently available mitigation practices may not be sufficient to achieve contact recreational water quality standards in many catchments due to other sources of . This risk-index approach can be incorporated into existing decision support tools to enable farmers to manage fecal contamination impacts from their farming operations.
