Summary

Agricultural non-point source pollution (ANPSP) significantly affects worldwide water quality, soil integrity, and ecosystems. Primary factors are nutrient runoff, pesticide leaching, and inadequate livestock waste management. Nonetheless, a thorough assessment of ANPSP sources and efficient control techniques is still lacking. This research delineates the origins and present state of ANPSP, emphasizing its influence on agricultural practices, livestock, and rural waste management. It assesses current evaluation models, encompassing field- and watershed-scale methodologies, and investigates novel technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT) that possess the potential to enhance pollution monitoring and predictive precision.
