pesticide running off treated sites.
Question:
Depth to Groundwater.
Answer:
The distance from the soil surface down to the water table.
Question:
Backflow.
Answer:
When the water source filling the pesticide application equipment has a water pressure drop
unexpectedly in the supply line, electricity is shut down or a pump fails and the pesticide runs back
into the water source, contaminating it.
Question:
Reduced Pressure Principal Device.
Answer:
Two independent check valves in the water supply line, with an automatic pressure differential
valve located between the two valves.
,Question:
Pressurized Vacuum Breaker.
Answer:
Vees stop backflow in the waterline is under continuous water pressure and the waterline pressure is
lost.
Question:
Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker.
Answer:
These let air from the atmosphere into the waterline to break the backflow siphon at the event of
pressure loss in the waterline.
Question:
Chemigation.
Answer:
Application of pesticides and fertilizers through irrigation systems
Question:
Pesticide Waste.
Answer:
Includes both pesticides that you cannot use as originally intended, old pesticides that may no longer
