Boron contamination of water resources in the Mediterranean region: distribution, sources, social impact and remediation
- Contamination by boron endangers Mediterranean water resources used for
drinking water and irrigation. BOREMED looks at specific settings in the
Mediterranean basin in order to develop an approach to the understanding the
sources, pathways and fate of boron and salinity in groundwater
resources.
- It will provide solutions through novel water treatment technologies
integrated to water management policies.
