Learn How Bioreactors are Used to Improve Water Quality
Iowa Ag Connection - 01/19/2021
How bioreactors are being used to address water quality issues around the world is the topic of an Iowa Learning Farms webinar on Jan. 20 at noon.
Denitrifying woodchip bioreactors are promoted in the Midwest to clean nitrate from tile drainage, but did you know that they are also being tested around the world for a variety of applications?
bioreactor installation.Challenges involving agriculture, nitrogen and water are not unique to our region. Join Laura Christianson, assistant professor, Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois, for this "stay-cation" to learn more about how bioreactors are being used at (almost) 80 stops around the globe.
"Clean water is important no matter where you are in the world. Woodchip bioreactors are helping farmers achieve agricultural water quality goals in many places," said Christianson. "They're not a silver bullet but can be a powerful tool, especially when we learn from global neighbors."
Christianson does applied research and outreach on agricultural water quality, with a particular emphasis on denitrifying woodchip bioreactors.
