Answer to Question 1

When pollutants degrade water quality, they impose costs on water users in the form of degraded ecosystems, reduced recreational opportunities, reduced commercial fishing catches and shellfish bed closings, increased water-treatment costs, threats to human health, and damage to reservoirs and water-conveyance systems.

Answer to Question 2

Integrated pest management promotes minimized pesticide use, enhanced environmental stewardship, and sustainable systems.
