Diffuse Pollution of surface, coastal and ground waters is a major environmental and economic problem in the world today. Unlike point source pollution, which has to some extent been controlled by developments in technology and regulation, diffuse pollution is difficult to control, requiring the application of technological and socio-economical approaches and of education. The 46 papers in these proceedings have been selected from those presented at the 3rd International Conference on Diffuse Pollution, which addressed urban and rural diffuse pollution problems and solutions as experienced in several countries. The papers are divided into five themes: Identification of sources and loads Best Management Practices Receiving water impacts Modelling diffuse pollution Watershed management. The proceedings conclude with two papers, prepared by prominent specialists, that summarise the key findings at the conference. These proceedings will prove an essential resource for all concerned, whether as researchers, regulators or practioners, with diffuse pollution and its control.
