Nitrate Problems are Soluble - but Who Pays?

Nitrate pollution in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and underground aquifers is a major problem. However, researchers from Belgium, Malta, Poland, and the UK have developed a new low cost, environmentally friendly technology, known as \\\\\\\'NITRABAR\\\\\\\' which substantially removes nitrate from groundwater. The project is an EC LIFE Environment Project that demonstrates the remediation of agricultural diffuse NITRAte polluted waters through the implementation of a permeable reactive BARrier. Now that the science has been proven and the environmental and financial benefits have been calculated, the only outstanding issue is funding.
