Abstract: Implementing best management practices
(BMPs) can reduce nitrate concentration in
groundwater, but does it pay to invest in programs
that reduce nitrate by encouraging increased
adoption of BMPs? In this paper we evaluate water
quality improvement by benefit-cost analysis of
adopting BMPs under such a program. The analysis
shows that under current levels of contamination,
costs of the program to foster BMP implementation
will be equal to annually accrued benefits over a
period of 6 years. However, under the worsening
scenarios of increased nitrate-N concentrations, the
same costs will be equal to the benefits in a 4- to 5-
year period. If water quality improves to acceptable
levels through a
