Abstract
The major sources of phosphate substances in surface waters are human wastes, synthetic detergents, certain industrial wastes, and runoff from agricultural and forest lands. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the factors which bring about various concentrations of phosphate substances in the runoff from rural areas (agricultural and forest land), present the results obtained in stream surveys, and estimate the contribution of phosphate from land runoff.
