Sustainable Management of residual waters in rural areas (DEPURANAT)

Start date: Dec 31, 2003, End date: Sep 29, 2007,

In the rural zones with low population densities which are characteristic of the Atlantic Area, the absence of a system for treating water residues leads to the dumping of effluents in nearby natural areas, leading to diffuse pollution in these zones which are of great ecological value. In this context, DEPURANAT proposes to put together a system for the sustainable management of waste water, enco ...
