Diffuse Pollution Management
Diffuse pollution has been described as the ‘unfinished business’ of water pollution control. Key attributes of diffuse pollution, which contribute to it being difficult to mitigate include: time lags, highly dispersed, distinguishing diffuse pollution, and equitable allocation of responsibility. The demonstration of the economic consequences of diffuse pollution for human health, natural capital, agricultural, fisheries and industrial productivity, tourism, and water treatment has been a vital driver of awareness raising and action. Great progress has been made in many countries in the development of a wide range of potential measures to mitigate diffuse pollution. Event‐driven delivery of pollution means that pollutant concentrations in water courses can vary strongly with time. Approaches to governance of behaviour influencing diffuse pollution have been categorised into regulatory, economic, and voluntary policy mechanisms, all of which have key global policy roles. Significant progress has been made in raising awareness and developing methods for detection and mitigation of diffuse pollution.
