Capping Phosphorous Waste
02/08/2010
Tests have confirmed a deadly link between a toxic Black Country lake in the United Kingdom and the deaths of hundreds of animals over the last decade. In October 2009, underwater mapping helped identify the source of pollution--white phosporous stemming from old industrial activity. By December, a heavy-duty geotextile barrier was installed over part of the lagoon. A three-month study period is underway.   ID: 4724

India: Project for Increased Use of Jute Geotextiles
02/05/2010
Previously, Geosynthetica noted in the daily news the development of a joint investment and investigation into jute and geotextiles between agencies in India and Bangladesh. The aim is to properly tap the potential of jute fabrics in preventing soil erosion along river banks, road edges and elsewhere. The reported investment has been a US $3.6-million research project to standardize design, methodology and specifications for jute geotextiles. Now, in the most recent newsletter from the India-based Business Coordination House (BCH) more information has come to light. That release is reprinted here.   ID: 4716
