Buffer/Filter Strips
Ø Narrow strips of dense vegetation (usually
permanent grass) on contour
- Effective by inducing deposition (partial credit) and
spreading runoff
- Most of deposition is in backwater above strip
Ø Buffer strips
- Multiple strips
- Either at bottom or not a strip at bottom
- Water quality-must have strip at bottom and this
strip twice as wide as others
Ø Filter strip-single strip at bottom
