Understanding the Science Behind Riparian Forest Buffers: Effects on Water Quality | Over a third of our nation’s streams, lakes, and estuaries
are impaired by some form of water pollution (U.S.
E.P.A. 1998). Pollutants can enter surface waters
from point sources, such as single source industrial

urban areas, construction and industrial sites, and failed
septic tanks. |

which are widely considered to be quality factors, but the
most important are shape, needle retention, straightness,
