From 20th to 22nd July 2005,
the International Meeting
on Phytodepuration has been
celebrated in the Cultural
House. It has gathered more
than 150 attendants. Differents
types of depuration with plants
have been investigated through
more than 26 communications
and 14 posters, having an
special interest on the Filters
with Macrophytes on Flotation,
of which prototypes have been
researched by Life-Environment
in Lorca.
The
inauguration was taken place
on 20th July appearing the
Mayor of Lorca, Miguel Navarro,
the President of Hydrographic
Confederation of the Segura,
José Salvador Fuentes
Zorita, the Manager of Fundación

Miguel and the Head of Deparment
of Vegetal Productions of
the School of Agricultural
Engineering of Madrid, Jesús
Fernández. During 20th
and 21st July, there were
differents communications
and discussions about caracteristics,
methods, aplications and problems
of Phytodepuration. A visit
to two of the Floating Macrophytes
Filters at the pig farm GAMUR
and at the township of Coy
was on 22nd July.

This International
Meeting is part
of the divulgation
activities included
in the LIFE-Environment
project "New
Floating Macrophyte
Green Filters
for the Mediterranean
Region."
Construction
and operating
costs of conventional
water treatment
systems often
are cost-prohibitive.
Many conventional
treatment plants
in rural communities
and small towns
are neglected
soon after inauguration
because of high
operating costs
and difficult
maintenance.
Green filters
are an economic
and easy solution
that are notably
elastic, usually
have low environmental
impact, and
may even produce
large amounts
of biomass,
which, together
with low energy
consumption,
contributes
to reducing
global warming.
The objective
of the meeting
is to exchange
the latest knowledge
about low purification
capacity, effectiveness,
management and
maintenance
costs of green
filters and
other water
treatment systems
using different
plant species.
