*3.11.1 Best management practices (BMPs)*

BMPs involve implementing strategies to reduce phosphorus inputs. This includes practices such as buffer zones, cover crops, and optimized fertilizer application in agriculture, as well as improved wastewater treatment methods. BMPs play a significant role in mitigating phosphorus pollution in aquatic environments. These practices are a set of guidelines, strategies, and techniques designed to minimize the release of phosphorus into water bodies. They address various pollution sources and promote sustainable land and water management.

Here are some key BMPs used to tackle phosphorus pollution in aquatic systems.
