Abstract

Wastes from humans and industries have been considered the major sources of water pollution. With increases in population, the migration of people from rural to urban areas, and increasing industrial development, these waste ·sources have become even more significant. Along with population growth and the shift from an essentially rural to an essentially urban society has come increasing demand for food and fiber. This demand has been satisfied by decreasing numbers of farm operators on fewer farms. This has led to the concentration of greater numbers of livestock on fewer farms. In recent years, it has been recognized that the concentration of large numbers of lives tock in small areas for feeding represents a significant source of water pollution.
