Removing and reusing phosphorus from agricultural runoff

Glen Daigger and his research team are developing a biological system that can capture the phosphorus in the water without use of chemicals.

By using a biological system to capture phosphorus from agricultural runoff, researchers at the University of Michigan have created a process that would allow treatment plants to remove it from wastewater in a concentrated form that can then be reused as fertilizer.
