Farm sector can’t stay closed, open it up, at least in part: US urges India
NEW DELHI: US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick called upon India to open up the agricultural sector for trade, saying “it just can’t stay closed”.The farm sector has remained a no-go area for government that has cited domestic sensitivities, even as US has insisted on greater access for American nuts, fruits and poultry. “Indian market for […]
Innovative constructed wetland system enhances aquaculture wastewater treatment
Aquaculture wastewater, rich in organic matter, nitrogen an phosphorus, poses a significant environmental threat when discharged untreated, leading to eutrophication and water quality degradation. A recent study, published in Microorganisms, introduces a novel solution – the “Four Ponds and Two Dams” constructed wetland system, an innovative approach to aquaculture wastewater treatment — pioneered by a […]
Corrosion Control and pH adjustment
Corrosion control treatment is used to prevent pipe corrosion and the presence of metals in drinking water. Drinking water treatment plants such as the Washington Aqueduct add orthophosphate, a corrosion control treatment, before water leaves the treatment plant. Orthophosphate creates a thin protective coating inside pipes and plumbing fixtures and is very effective in reducing […]
