This study addresses the effectiveness of nutrient load reduction by SWAT model application in three case study catchments draining to the Baltic Sea.
BONUS RETURN has produced three baseline SWAT applications with different parameter combinations for the project’s case study catchments in Finland, Sweden and Poland.
This article highlights the main results of a study on the effectiveness of ecotechnologies in reducing the nutrient load in three Baltic Sea river basins…
Pollution of the Baltic Sea continues to be a problem. The biggest terrestrial sources of nutrient emissions to the Baltic Sea are agriculture and wastewater. BONUS RETURN is currently conducting two systematic maps to collate and describe evidence on eco-technologies that are available to help recover phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon from wastewater and agriculture.
BONUS RETURN held its first annual meeting in Helsinki, Finland from 28th to 29th May 2018 to review the first year of the project.
The Vantaanjoki river basin flows through the Helsinki metropolitan area, where there are about 1 million inhabitants, before discharging into the Baltic Sea. Purified sewage waters from this region are discharged into the open sea area in the Gulf of Finland.
