1.Introduction
Theuseofpesticidesinwesternagriculturedatesbacktothemiddleofthe19thcentury(Fournier,1988).Sincethen,becauseoftheirintensiveuse,yieldshaveincreasedandthedemandforagriculturalproductshasbeensatisfied.However,thepollutioncreatedbytheirusethreatensbothdrinkingwaterresourcesandtheintegrityofecosystems.Therefore,thereisagreatdemandforthereductionofpollution.Theremedieslieinchangesinthewaythatagriculturallandismanaged.TheproblemofagriculturalJournalnon-pointsourcepollutionbypesticidesmustbetakenfromthefield,thelevelofaction,tothecatchment,thelevelofcontrolofthewaterresource.
Betweenthesetwospatialscales,differentlevelsoforganisationcanbefound.Fields,groupsoffields,basinsandmaincatchment,canbeviewedtogetherasnestedsystems(Bureletal.,1992).Foreachscalelevel,themainprocessesgoverningwatermovementandsolublepollutanttransportaredifferent,asarethevariablescharacterisingthesystem(Lebel,1990):
flowinmacroporesatlocalscale,preferentialflowpathsatthehillslopescale,flowsinconnectionwith
therepartitionofdifferentsoilsatthecatchmentscale,geologyinfluenceattheregionalscale(Blo¨schandSivapalan,1995).
Atthefieldlevel,anexperimentalapproachcanbeusedandtherelativeweightofeachvariablecanbeexperimentallytested(Scheunert,1996;Bengtsonetal.,1990).Themajorfactorsthatconcernagriculturalpracticeshavebeenidentifiedandmanyagriculturalmanagementindicatorshavebeendeveloped(Bockstalleretal.,1997).
Nevertheless,thisapproachcannotbeappliedatthecatchmentscaleforseveralreasons:
theneedtomeasurethepollutionandtheenvironmentalfactorssimultaneously,multiplemeasurementdifficulties,thecomplexityofanalysis.Thevariabilityofobservationshastemporalandspatialcomponents.Raininducespesticideleachingandthereforecauses
temporaryhighpesticideconcentrationsinthewater;thecloserthepesticidespreadingdateinthe
fieldistothemeasurement,thegreatertheconcentrationlevels(Seuxetal.,1984;Reme,1992;LarocheandGallichand,1995).TheextensiveuseofGeographicalInformationSystem(GIS)hasmadeitpossibletoanalysetheimpactonthepollutionofthespatialcharacteristicsofagriculturalzones(BattaglinandGoolsby,1996).Butsofar,theresultsoftheseexperiments
haveonlyledtoanapproximateestimateoftherisks(TimandJolly,1994).
Inordertoprogressinthesearchforwaystoreducepesticidepollution,itwouldbeworthwhiletoimproveourassessmentofhowspatialstructureandorganisationaffectsthelevelsofpollutantsmeasured.Thispaperpresentstheresultsofastudythatconcernsaparticularaspectoftheinfluenceofspatialorganisationonpesticidetransfer:
theeffectsofthedistancebetweenthecroplandandthechannelnetwork.Thelongerthedistancebetweenacultivatedfieldandariver,thegreatertheretentionanddegradationprocesses(Leonard,1990;Belamieetal.,1997).Onemightthereforeimaginethatthegreaterthedistance,thelowerthepollutionlevel.However,
fewstudieshavegivenanumericalvaluetothecriticaldistanceatwhichafielddoesnotinfluenceriverpollutionsignificantly.Usually,whendealingwithriskzonedefinition,expertsestablishanarbitrarydistance(Bouchardy,1992).Ourmaingoalistodeterminethroughspatialanalysisthecriticaldistancefromahydrographicnetwork.Thezonesmostatriskfrompesticides,includingtheplots,whichcontributemostofthepollution,canthenbedetermined.
Thestudyarea,theSoussoncatchment(Gers,France)hascertainphysicalcharacteristics,whichallowssamplingofmostoftheindependentsubbasins,definedhereasagriculturalproductionzones.Itsparticularmorphologymadethecomparativestudyoftheproductionzonespossible.Themethodinvolvesastatisticalcomparisonbetweenpollutionmeasurementsandspatialcharacteristicsofthecatchments.Inordertoestablishtheboundariesof

GISfunctionsarecapableofdeterminingthelandcoverofeachcatchmentbyintersectingthetwoinformationlayers“landcover”and“catchmentboundaries”,ordefiningazoneofconstantwidtharoundthehydrographicnetwork,whichiscalledthebufferzone.
Inordertoevaluatethepesticideapplicationrate,figuresforlocalpesticidesaleswerecollected.Atrazine,alachlorandglyphosatearethemostcommonlyusedcompounds,atrazinefaroutstripstheotherstriazinesasthemostfrequentlyusedproduct(tentimeslesssimazineissold).Inthisregion,atrazineisonlyusedinmaizecultivation.Theapplicationrate(massofatrazinesold/maizesurfacearea)doesnotvaryfromonemunicipalitytoanother.
