Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Apply as little fertilizer as possible.
If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
