Can Irrigation Help in Remediation of Contaminated Sites?
Yes, irrigation can aid in the remediation of contaminated sites through techniques such as phytoremediation and bioremediation. By controlling water application, specific plants or microorganisms can be used to absorb, degrade, or stabilize toxicants in soil and water. However, this requires careful planning and monitoring to ensure that the remediation process is effective and does not lead to secondary contamination.
