Approximately 56.5 billion cubic metres of

Ontario farmland -20 per cent is snow, the
• rest rain. About 66 per cent of the total
• precipitation returns to the atmosphere
through evaporation and transpiration. The
rest is either surface runoff water or ground
water. Both eventually enter the Great
Lakes system.

Otterville, who was chairman of the

Members were mainly tobacco and fruit

committee, prompting it to disband. It may

Hydro treats farmers whose land will be

agriculture uses 8,720 tonnes of pesticides on
about 2.14 million hectares (33 per cent of
the census farm area). Herbicides lead this
volume. with 63 per cent, followed by
nematocides 18 per cent, growth regulators
6.8 per cent; fungicides 65 per cent and in-
secticides 4.9 per cent. •
"To apply the pesticides,. farmers drew
about 400 million litres of water from farm
wells, ponds, ditches or streams. Most. of the
water is used for herbicides an corn, a total
of 160 million litres."
" The article goes on to say that water quali-
ty is affected by pesticide application
because pesticides applied to soil and crops
can be removed in both surface runoff water
and internal drainage water to reach wells,
ponds and streams.
In turn, pesticides can be detected in ma-
jor rivers in Ontario. In a three year period,
from 1981-84,' Atrazine was measured in 98

Farm ponds were also tested as they're a
• source of water for spraying pesticides and
,irrigating crops. ,It was found that of 189
sampled because of suspected
contamination -114 contained residues. The
seriously contaminated ponds were all trac-
ed to careless handling of herbicides which
Were spilled directly or indirectly into the
water. Most of the low level contaminations
resulted from runoff after storms or spray
' drifting into the pond when pesticides were
- applied to adjacent fields.
