1. Reduction in nutrient loads to local soil and water bodies in project area: Installation of manure management systems, including construction of manure platforms, adequate manure storage facilities and training in optimum application of manure as fertilizers as well as implementation of environmentally friendly agricultural practices such as shrub and tree planting led to a significant decre...
1. 105 medium and large livestock farms received planning and investment support for farm manure and nutrient management, which minimizes nutrient leakage to water bodies.
2. Seven agricultural high schools received manure storage facilities and handling equipment, nutrient management plans, teacher training, and a customized Code of Good Agricultural Practices, exposing at least 2,000 students...
1. The completed Trnovo and Odzak Wastewater Treatment Plants already substantially contribute to the project’s major objective of reducing pollution from municipal sources into the Neretva and Bosna Rivers, whereas the currently being under construction Wastewater Systems of Zivinice and Mostar will result in Bosna and Neretva river water quality improvement shortly.
2. The feasibility study ...
