Water Protection in the Field of Tension Between Agriculture and Climate Change
Original title: Gewässerschutz im Spannungsfeld zwischen Landwirtschaft und Klimawandel
Summary
This review paper looks at how climate change and farming practices together are affecting our water sources, including how pesticides, drug residues from livestock, and microplastics wash into rivers and streams more easily as weather patterns shift. This matters because these contaminants can end up in the water we drink and the fish we eat, and the paper suggests farming methods that work with nature could help keep our water cleaner even as the climate changes.
Water protection as a point of tension between agriculture and climate change: An aquatic ecological perspective on agriculture under climate change highlights complex interactions among hydrological change, land-management practices, and nutrient and contaminant fluxes. This article examines cascading effects on water balance, soil erosion, nutrient dynamics, and the transport of pollutants such as pesticides, veterinary pharmaceuticals, and microplastics. It also discusses implications for biodiversity and freshwater ecological status, and outlines nature-based strategies for water-compatible, climate-resilient agriculture.
