Certainly! Below is the classification of each agricultural practice based on its impact on the quality or quantity of water:

Impacts on Water Quality

  • Grazing: Grazing can lead to water quality issues due to nutrient runoff and soil erosion, which can pollute water sources.
  • Pesticide: The use of pesticides can contaminate water supplies through runoff, affecting water quality.

Impacts on Water Quantity

  • Irrigation: Irrigation impacts the quantity of water used as it involves the direct withdrawal of water for agricultural purposes.
  • Grazing: Grazing can also impact water quantity indirectly through land use changes that may affect soil and water retention.

Summary:

  • Grazing: Affects Water Quality and Quantity
  • Irrigation: Affects Water Quantity
  • Pesticide: Affects Water Quality
