The main focus of this paper was to investigate the spatial variability of denitrification rates in sediments from several streams and ponds considering their locations and characteristics; to study the main controlling factors that regulate the denitrification process; and to draw some lessons and deduce recommendations about pond management to control the impact of NO3− in such agricultural environments.
Water is essential for the life, but many people lack the accessibility to clean and healthy drinking water and die as a consequence of water-borne infections.
Many inhabited Greek/Mediterranean islands are unsustainable without mainland support due to lack of access to clean water and energy. This case study establishes the feasibility of sustainable green energy solutions for these settlements.
