So amazingly simple, but effective, a light and water trap for insects in the field. Obviously only effective where electricity is readily available, such water traps – just a bucket of water and a light bulb – actually work quite well in attracting and distracting and eventually killing a host of otherwise troublesome insects. This is done in combination with other techniques like moth traps, natural recipe pesticides/repellents, "honey pot" areas and promotion of beneficial pest-eating animals.

One and the same thing.

One basic difference is, in the former, the runoff would be mostly nutrients from inorganic fertilizers applied to the fields prior to runoff and which were not absorbed by the plants, although this might also contain contaminants from pesticide applications; whereas in the latter, it may contain mostly human wastes, animal dung/shit, micro- and macro-organisms, dirt, gas forming bacteria/fungi, and all sorts of diseases, depending on what is the source of the waste waters.

The problem unique to municipal wastewater is heavy metals such as nickle, cadmium and so on. Often times that is what limits the amount of sludge than can be applied to land and not because of excessive nutrients.
