Nutrient runoff occurs when excess fertilizers, pesticides, or other agricultural chemicals are washed off fields by rain or irrigation water and enter nearby water bodies. This can lead to water pollution, including the growth of harmful algal blooms, and can degrade aquatic ecosystems. Managing nutrient runoff through buffer strips, cover crops, and proper fertilization techniques is essential for protecting water quality.
