"Because this course is part of the activities of the European Project" LIFE + Rehabilitation of a heavy metal riverbed contaminated by phytoextraction technique "of recovery of sites potentially contaminated by metals and metalloids through anthropic activities, will have the opportunity to offer a practical vision Of the presentations made ".
"This initiative is the only specialized course that offers a complete theoretical and practical training on this subject." This edition will count with renowned experts in this field: Ángel Faz (UPCT), José A.

The Edil de Medio Ambiente recalled that "in Lorca continue to develop the actions aimed at decontaminating the Guadalentín river bed by means of sophisticated phytoextraction techniques consisting of planting vegetation to free it from heavy metals and other types of accumulations. Channel is one of the main objectives of the Life + Riverphy Project ".
"During these months the tasks have been focused mainly on cleaning the channel and mowing of existing vegetation to enable plants to regrow and continue to accumulate heavy metals.There have also been planted autochthonous species indicated technically and scientifically for the extraction of metals Heavy of the bed of the river Guadalentín in the zones without vegetation.There are plants that will be interspersed with the current vegetation.With both actions it is foreseen to extract as much heavy metals as possible from the soil affected by copper, zinc and chromium.
