World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 7m ago

A world-first trial conducted in Victoria, Australia, has demonstrated that floating wetlands composed of native plants can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater lagoons by approximately 30 percent. The project utilizes these floating gardens to mitigate the environmental impact of wastewater treatment facilities.

Following the success of the initial trial, researchers are now expanding their investigation to determine the effectiveness of this approach on farm dams. The study aims to evaluate whether this method can serve as a scalable solution for reducing emissions in various agricultural and industrial water settings.
