AT A GLANCE

NPP-SOL project, funded by PRIMA Programme, integrates site-specific best management practices (SSBMP) and Pollution-Preventing Technologies (PPTs) to improve soil, water, fertilizers and crop management with site-tailored and affordable-cost technologies to prevent natural bodies pollution.

Our Solutions & Technologies

Pollution-Preventing Technologies (PPTs)

In order to intercept and remove NPS pollutants before reaching the groundwater and surface water bodies, the following technologies will be implemented: bioreactors and constructed wetlands to remove nutrients and pesticides from surface runoff and/or drainage water coming from agricultural fields; anaerobic digestors will treat livestock slurries before spreading them to the soil.

Site-Specific Best Management Practices (SSBMP)

NPP-SOL integrates site-specific best management practices to improve soil, water, fertilizers, and crop management with site-tailored and affordable-cost technologies to prevent natural bodies pollution.
