The fluid flow dynamics of rivers and canals are far more complex than is commonly realized. Although a river may look free flowing and healthy at the surface, at the bottom water is often stagnant and anoxic.
Canals are man-made and usually traverse fairly flat terrain and are designed to have little flow. This predisposes them to become stagnant anaerobic environments.
The demand for remediation of canals and rivers is growing rapidly because they are integral to Integrated Water Resource Management strategy, and are now being recognized as a major problem, particularly in urban environments.
Equally, previously pristine rivers, now contaminated and algae infested, are negatively affecting tourism from whitewater runs in mountainous areas all the way through to coastal waterways such as those in Florida in the USA.
Rivers can become an active transport mechanism for transferring CyanoHABs from one lake, dam or reservoir to another.
Our Biotechnology Solutions are unique in their ability to be configured, adapted and designed to meet the dynamic nature of changes in flow rates, depths and organic loads that affect a flowing body of water over a typical annual seasonal cycle.
