From WaterWiki.net

Description

The project involves the following activities:

1. Conducting project introductory seminar (increasing awareness of local population and local authorities about Persistent Organic Pollutants)
2. Conducting an inventory of nitrate containing substances of the Kara-Darya river
3. Introducing alternative fertilizers in the agricultural practice of the local people:
4. Conduct the soil, water and foodstuffs analysis to determine the presence of nitrates
5. Make an agreement with the laboratory and purchase reagents for analysis
6. Round tables with environment protection institutions, local authorities, local population, farmers to determine the work results
7. Increase awareness of local population about the nitrate containing substances
