Description
Description | The Hungary Nutrient Reduction Project aims (1) to reduce Budapest's discharge of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) into the Danube River, and consequently into the Black Sea; (2) to enhance the nutrient trapping capacity of Gemenc and Beda-Karapancsa wetlands situated in the lower Hungarian part of the Danube River; and (3) to serve as a model for similar nutrient reduction initiatives in Hungary and other Danube basin countries. The Project has three components: Component 1 - Development of tertiary treatment (nutrient removal) at the North Budapest wastewater treatment plant; Component 2 - Wetland restoration in the Gemenc and Beda-Karapancsa areas of the Duna-Drava National Park and establishment of a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system or the evaluation of Project impacts in terms of reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus; and Component 3 - Dissemination activities to foster replication in Hungary or in other parts of the Danube River basin. |
