( 2000 )

Summary

Animal waste from barnyards, manure pits and field application can pollute ground and surface water when not contained or applied properly. By making Best Management Practices (BMPs) part of a conservation plan, a farmer can greatly reduce the chances of contamination. A manure system should prevent contamination of water in lakes, streams, springs and wells.
