Development of vegetation media made from renewable raw materials for reclamation of eroded mediterranean areas in combination with reuse of treated waste water

Objective

Erosion is a problem of global dimensions. In Europe especially the Mediterranean countries are affected. The objective of the project is to develop media for simultaneous prevention of erosion and the enhancement of a vegetation cover. The vegetation media will be made from locally grown raw materials. Special focus will be the improvement of the plate's ability to draw humidity from the air. Field-tests will be made locally. A specified irrigation system using treated wastewater will be developed especially for application of the media under arid conditions. The media are planned to be produced by regional enterprises and marketed for covering roadside slopes, devastated mining areas and other purposes. Additionally to the positive effects directly on the environment also positive results are expected on employment. Alternative products can reduce overproduction of food. Other aspects of a positive regional development will also be covered.
