L'agriculture constitue la première cause des pollutions diffuses des ressources en eau. Lorsque l'on considère les pollutions d'origine agricole, il faut englober à la fois celles qui ont trait aux cultures et à l'élevage. Les activités agricoles sont, en particulier, largement impliquées dans les apports d'azote et, surtout, de ses dérivés, nitrates et nitrites, que l'on trouve en forte concentration dans les engrais, mais aussi dans les lisiers et purins d'élevage. A l'échelle nationale, l'agriculture apporterait entre un tiers et deux tiers de l'azote présent dans l'eau [...] Les pesticides utilisés pour le traitement des cultures sont également une source connue de dégradation des ressources en eau.

Elle se matérialise par la présence de nuages précurseurs de la perturbation, qui s'abaissent régulièrement avec le niveau de l'inversion, à mesure que l'on se rapproche du front (Cirrus, cirrostratus, altocumulus, altostratus).

The highest ventilation coefficient values generally occur in summer(range 500-600 [square meter]/s) ;shoreline locations experience relatively low values in summer and the reverse in winter. Areas with meteorological potential for pollution are considered to be those with ventilation coefficient values of not more than 6000 [square meters]/s.
