| Abstract |
"BOREMED aims to:
- Asses the magnitude of the ""boron problem"" with respect to agriculture and EU drinking-water standards
- Develop a methodology for identifying the sources and pathways of boron and salinity
- Evaluate the health impact of boron in drinking water
- Develop, test and apply new technologies for boron removal from contaminated groundwater, waste-water and desalinated sea water
- Develop water management policy that integrates the technical solutions with the political and legal institutional setting.
The different steps of the project comprise
- the assessment of boron concentrations in groundwater on supra-national level,
- the identification of the reasons of boron contamination,
- the identification of the pollutant pathways,
- the evaluation of the impact on health and
- the development of technological solutions which will
- be integrated into a water management tool.
