UNIFE, in collaboration with UNIPR and Bonifica, will take the lead in validating and demonstrating a nature-based approach to nutrient pollution remediation in rural areas. This approach involves the improvement of nutrient mitigation capacity of agricultural canals through the recolonization of emergent macrophytes (Phragmites australis) and the implementation of a conservative management of vegetated areas, while ensuring that hydraulic security needs are prioritized.
