Lake Velnezers treatment with ALUM method

We invite you to the TRUST ALUM project event to demonstrate the first ALUM method application in Baltic countries. We will treat Lake Velnezers to reduce intensive eutrophication caused by legacy phosphorus pollution.

This treatment is not only a milestone for the TRUST ALUM project, but also a significant step forward for modern lake treatment and management in Latvia. And we hope our success story will convince and engage the Baltic region stakeholders, and that this treatment will be just the start for wider ALUM method application to treat heavily polluted lakes.

For more information about the Interreg Baltic Sea Region TRUST ALUM project, including the lake surveys, public engagement efforts, and legal aspects of the treatment, we invite you to visit our homepage.
