Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diverting the runoff of animal wastes into detention basins is an effective way to control and treat the runoff before it enters surface waters. This allows for the removal of excess nutrients and pollutants in the wastewater, reducing the risk of contamination. The other choices are not effective or can exacerbate the problem. Locating feedlots on gently sloping land is not enough to prevent runoff and can lead to greater contamination, removing buffers between stockyards and surface water increases the risk of pollution, and increasing animal density can exacerbate the problem of runoff.
