Reference: LIFE92 ENV/GR/000051

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUND

The consulting team, after a series of studies and measurements of the conditions and of the methods to be used selected four locations where the pilot actions and methods are tested. 1. The first location is a small torrent. The polluted water comes from the agricultural activities and falls into the small river. As water is passing through the torrent it is pumped, aerobic treatment with oxygen (through rubber pipes).The clean water is used again for irrigation. A small room contains the machinery used for pumping the water. 2. The second location is in a small river that passes through a camping site and ends up to the sea. Reeds were planted in the river in order to produce oxygen and retain the pollutants coming through the river. Wooden doors will be installed to retain the water as it is treated. 3.The third location is also on the river. The system of aerobic treatment of pollutants is applied here. 4. A stabilisation pond has been built inside a forest, a recreation area for the citizens of Amaliada, and near the river. The lake captures water from the river besides it and stores it in a tank for treatment. The treated water will irrigate the forest. The pond has been tested by since electricity has not been installed yet the site does not operate. The machinery bought is stored in warehouses
