Nutrient Reduction

Water bodies are often adversely impacted by concentrated sources of runoff. Whether nutrients, bacteria or other contaminants are the problem, we provide expert guidance to define and provide the optimum barrier solution.

Check out the projects below to see what is possible with Mackworth's nutrient reduction technology.

Nutrient reduction on a stream in Sanford, Maine

Bauneg Beg Lake

Pilot application for Mackworth's nutrient barrier technology. The project featured an experimental tri-barrier sytem, with a target of 40% reduction in total phosphorus from the inlet stream.
