Abstract:
Reduction of pollution by applying reactive forms of phosphorus and nitrogen within a hydrologically defined part of the aquifer of the Švihov water reservoir and the Trnávka water reservoir, presenting an acquifer area of 339.3 km2, with the significant water streams of Trnava and Kejtovský potok.
Required is development of a system for limiting the negative impact of simple point sources of pollution, especially sewage treatment plants.
Testing a system for limiting the negative impact of simple point sources of pollution,installed within the sewage treatment plant at Pacov aimed at achieving a maximum phosphorus reduction in the plant outflow.
Proposal of a change in the current farming methods with special focus on reducing N & P pollutions from superficial farming sources.
