Why The Eutrophy Solution Is Important

The primary causes of eutrophication are population growth, urbanization, and the distortions that these factors have imposed on natural water resources by concentrating contaminants and nutrients that have accumulated in downstream water bodies.

The secondary cause and accelerant is the manner in which we are throwing gasoline on the fire by virtue of the misguided “remediation” actions that are being perpetrated in the form of herbicides, algaecides and chemical phosphorus precipitants such as alum.

The Eutrophy Solution is important because it is the only way to reverse the impact of both the primary and secondary causes of eutrophication and the CyanoHAB epidemic that is taking a stranglehold on water resources globally.

It is time that both water industry professionals and the taxpaying public become better informed about the consequences of such policies and join the movement to adopt effective Biotechnology Solutions to reverse eutrophication and manage water resources more effectively and sustainably.
