Le ruissellement agricole est une source diffuse de pollution de l'eau, et reçoit de plus en plus d'attention depuis que les sources ponctuelles de pollution sont bien contrôlées. Les sédiments, les éléments nutritifs et les pesticides sont parmi les polluants qui nous inquiètent le plus. Les opérations d'élevage et les terres productives sont considérées comme les sources principales. 2, record 2, French, - ruissellement%20agricole

The first biomass factories can and should use available feedstocks such as agricultural residues, wood wastes, and municipal solid wastes.... There can be an intermediate phase where marginal lands or set-aside acreage are used for energy crops. [Aquatic] plants are probably going to become the ultimate energy crops because productivity can be very high and because the oceans will be relatively unexploited when all the good croplands are in use. 4, record 3, English, - energy%20crop
