Spotlight – Time Warp: Full Throttle Model
Nonpoint source pollution is pollution coming from widely developed areas, such as farms or cities. However, nonpoint source pollution can also be an issue in natural areas, such as forests. In 1951, Forest Service scientists Kenneth G. Reinhart, Arthur R. Eschner, and George R. Trimble, Jr., began to study a particular type of nonpoint source pollution in forests. Read this spotlight to learn more about their historical research and compare their work to the research in "Full Throttle Model."
