Agricultural runoff : Water leaving farm fields because of irrigations, rain, or melting snow. The example of agricultural runoff could be pollution from soil erosion, animal waste, use of chemicals like pesticides, and fertilizer.

How One Smart Farmer Saved the Water:
This is our homemade prairie root, we made it with twine as the roots and with oil pastels and paper for the flowers.

We hope you like our homemade prairie root.
