Blauwalg

Wageningen University & Research doet vanuit verschillende invalshoeken onderzoek naar blauwalg. Een voorbeeld hiervan is het onderzoek naar een nieuwe methode om blauwalg te bestrijden door onderzoekers van Wageningen University & Research voor recreatieplas De Rauwbraken bij Tilburg: de Flock & Lock-methode. Zij wisten fosfaat in de plas als voedingsstof voor de algen uit te schakelen door deze aan klei te binden. Daardoor verdween de blauwalg en werd het water weer helder. En dat bleef zo. Wageningen University & Research levert daarmee een bijdrage aan de kwaliteit van leven.
