Oklahoma State University expert Dr. Myron Paine and Texas A&M agricultural engineer Dr. Sweeten say feedlots contribute little to water pollution thanks to good manure management, farmer cooperation, and runoff-retention laws. They note only a small fraction reaches streams, with most moisture evaporating. Government guidelines and a new 1985 federal water law shape oversight.
