World-first water quality project improves test stream
Nitrate levels have significantly reduced at a North Canterbury stream less than two months into a pilot project to improve its water quality.
The Institute of Environmental and Scientific Research (ESR)-led denitrification wall trial at Silverstream Reserve, near Kaiapoi, has resulted in nitrate levels in groundwater dropping from 7.1mg/l to 0.5 mg/l.
The 25 metre-long wall, installed in November, is a world first, having never been tested in a fast-flowing gravel aquifer system before.
