Detailed explanation-1: -Practice definition Buffers and filter strips are areas of permanent vegetation located within and between agricultural fields and the water courses to which they drain. These buffers are intended to intercept and slow runoff thereby providing water quality benefits.
Detailed explanation-2: -As long as the soil is not saturated, vegetative filter strips are effective in removing dissolved contaminants because they allow water to infiltrate the soil prior to reaching a waterway. However, dissolved compounds are not trapped by filter strips after the soil is saturated.
Detailed explanation-3: -Filter strips, also referred to as buffer strips, are small, edge-of-field tracts of vegetated land that are used to reduce the contamination of surface water.
