“…Effectiveness of implementation of measures can also be informed by scenario analysis and modelling of the complex interactions of land management with environmental variables (Silgram et al, 2008;Oenema et al, 2009;Vigiak et al, 2011;van Grinsven et al, 2012). A growing number of studies have also directly measured impacts of mitigation measures at the catchment scale.…”

Poor water quality in lakes, rivers, estuaries and groundwater can be attributed to indirect effects of agricultural land use. Land management practices that lead to excess nutrients, sediment, pathogens and agrochemicals reaching waterbodies, or that negatively affect the hydrology, habitat and structure of waterbodies, can degrade water quality. This chapter describes farm and landscape management practices that can potentially prevent or mitigate adverse water quality impacts. Some examples of improved catchment water quality in response to changes in agricultural management are reported. Challenges associated with collecting evidence of the effects of agricultural management on water quality at the catchment scale, the potential for pollution-swapping, the cost-effectiveness of mitigation practices and approaches to governance of water quality management are also discussed. 2

“…Despite some criticism including practical difficulty in estimating gross erosion (e.g. Lane et al 1997) and the conceptual validity (Parsons et al 2006), SDR remains a practical approach for sediment load predictions at the watershed scale (Notebaert et al 2009;Vigiak et al 2011;Shi et al 2013;Shi et al 2014). SDR closely depends on the spatial and temporal scales over which sediment yield and gross erosion are measured (Lu et al 2005).…”

“…Grazing industries (dairying in higher rainfall areas and beef and sheep in many other areas), cropping, horticulture and sugarcane production contribute to nitrogen-and phosphorus-induced eutrophication problems in different locations. Gully erosion, often the result of overgrazing, increases phosphorus and sediment delivery to waterways (Vigiak et al, 2011).…”
