Conventional Pollutants are statutorily listed pollutants understood well by scientists.

A Conventional Site Assessment is assessment in which most of the sample analysis and interpretation of data is completed off-site; process usually requires repeated mobilization of equipment and staff in order to fully determine the extent of contamination.

Conventional Systems are Systems that have been traditionally used to collect municipal wastewater in gravity sewers and convey it to a central primary or secondary treatment plant prior to discharge to surface waters.

A Conventional Tillage is Full width tillage that disturbs the entire soil surface and is performed prior to and/or during planting. There is less than 15 percent residue Cover after

A Conventional Tilling is Tillage operations considered standard for a specific location and crop and that tend to bury the crop residues; usually considered as a Base for determining

A Conveyance Loss is Water loss in pipes, channels, conduits, ditches by leakage or evaporation.

A Cool Roofs: is the term cool roof is used to describe roofing material that has high solar reflectance. This Characteristic can reduce Heat transfer to the indoors and enhance roof

A Cooling system normally involve evaporating water to lower the temperature of birds, hens, pigs, etc. Generally used only for the breeding-gestation herd. Cooling also takes place by air movement in hot weather.

- Cooling Degree Day (CDD) : A Cooling Degree Day (CDD) is
Cooling degree days are used to estimate how hot the climate is and how much energy may be needed to keep buildings cool.

A Cooling Electricity Use is amount of electricity used to meet the building Cooling load. (See: building Cooling load.)
