Project Objectives:
Case Study – Hungary GEF Nutrient Reduction Project
(i)Reduce Budapest’s discharge of nutrients
(nitrogen and phosphorous) into the Danube River, and
consequently into the Black Sea;
•Enhance the nutrient trapping
capacity of Gemenc and Beda-Karapancsa wetlands situated
in the lower Hungarian part of the Danube River; and
•Serve as a model for similar nutrient reduction
initiatives in Hungary and other Danube basin countries.
NOTE: Very
interesting project with a unique opportunity to study
and compare both approaches to nutrient reduction!
