  • Title: Design and implementation of a measuring campaign to model pesticide impacts in an Ecuadorian watershed.
    Author: Matamoros D, Bonini J, Guzman E, Ramirez G, Vanrolleghem PA.
    Journal: Water Sci Technol; 2002; 46(9):37-45. PubMed ID: 12448450.
    Abstract:
    The first important issue in pesticide assessment for a watershed is the availability of soil and water quality information in the form of charts, maps or records. However, developing countries generally do not have enough historical data. Thus, sampling programs are crucial for the success of the evaluation, although in developing countries they always represent a controversial task between limited available budget and a precise assessment. This paper shows the steps taken to generate soil and water data to be used in a pesticide assessment project for a 34,000 ha watershed in Ecuador, South America. Sampling campaigns are still being run, so the methodology and the first results are shown here.
