Some agricultural strategies, such as cover crops<\/strong>, can significantly mitigate water pollution. A phenomenon linked to climate change, which is known to make flood events increasingly frequent thereby promoting the dispersion of agricultural and livestock residues through them. This is suggested by a research<\/a>.<\/p>\n The study, by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign<\/strong>, which involved researchers from other universities, analyzed rainfall data collected over more than a decade in the state of Wisconsin<\/strong> where a large dairy sector exists. Here, the authors note, livestock manure and crop fertilizers are the leading causes of agricultural pollution.<\/p>\n
