Agrochemical pollution risks associated with irrigation in Developing Countries: a guide

This guide is intended primarily for technical staff who are responsible for the implementation of new irrigated agriculture projects or for the modernisation/rehabilitation of existing ones, and who require relevant technical information to help them assess risk of agrochemical pollution associated with their projects. This guide will also be of relevance to officials in Government or donor agencies who wish to understand whether the projects they are interested in supporting may give rise to agrochemical pollution problems. It thus provides non-specialists with an insight into this complex subject and highlights priority issues.
