The effects of agricultural pollution on water quality

Thesis Abstract

The impact of agricultural pollution on water quality is a critical issue in agricultural economics. This study aims to analyze the economic implications of agricultural pollution on water resources and explore potential policy interventions to mitigate its adverse effects. The research examines the causes and consequences of agricultural pollution, including the contamination of surface water and groundwater sources. It also investigates the economic costs associated with water pollution, such as reduced agricultural productivity, increased healthcare expenses, and environmental damage. Furthermore, the study explores various policy measures, including regulatory frameworks, market-based instruments, and technological innovations, that can help address agricultural pollution and promote sustainable water management in the agricultural sector.
