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.
