摘要:An economic analysis of policies to control nonpoint source nitrate pollution in the presence
of minimum river flow restrictions was undertaken. A non-linear bio-physical economic
optimisation model of an intensively cultivated Scottish agricultural catchment was
constructed. The presence of minimum river flow controls in the catchment was found to
reduce nitrogen pollution. However, by themselves, river flow controls were found not to be a
cost effective means to reduce diffuse pollution. River flow controls did not, for the most part,
alter relative instrument ranking.
