Improving surface water quality

Improving the surface water quality of an eutrophic lake by in-situ filtration technique

Researcher: Mina Ghasri, Catherine Mulligann

Key highlights:

• An in-situ filtration system incorporating geotextiles is being used to treat polluted water in a lake subjected to eutrophication.
• Geotextiles have been successful in capturing algae and suspended solids as a filter media.
