Erosion Control, and Nanotechnologies (NT)

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Abstract Nanotechnology (NT) The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as understanding and controlling matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Introduction Nanotechnology offers the potential to effectively treat contaminants in situ, avoiding excavation or the need to pump contaminated water out of the ground. The process begins with nanoparticles being injected into a contaminated aquifer via an injection well. Role of Nanotechnology Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving wind turbine performance...

Contaminated Sediment Management?

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Agrivoltaics: Solar and Agriculture Co-Location What is RECSOIL? RECSOIL is a mechanism for scaling up sustainable soil management (SSM) with a focus on increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving overall soil health. The priorities are to: Prevent future SOC losses and increase SOC stocks; Improve farmers' incomes; Contribute to food security RECSOIL focuses on agricultural and degraded soils. The mechanism supports the provision of incentives for farmers who agree to implement good practices. "Mitigating the effects of poor soil conditions once sediment has entered the drainage system and aquatic environment is difficult, expensive, and labor–intensive." The implementation of pr...
