Title: Phosphate
Removal Processes and their
Efficiency in Reducing Eutrophication An Analysis of a
Scientific Approach and a Market Based
Approach to Phosphate Removal From
Water-Bodies Author: Jigar
Adhvaryu Abstract: Phosphorous, the main component
of fertilizer, is a major contributor to the eutrophication of water bodies.
A detailed analysis of a market based approach to the problem, and of a
scientific approach, suggests that market based solutions to phosphorous
abatement provide enormous potential for eliminating eutrophication, coupled
with superior economic efficiency and the ability to discourage non-point
sources of phosphorous release. Key References: -Braden, J. B. and Netusil, N. R. (1994), Incentive Based
