The high nitrate concentrations in the river Lethe (Lower Saxony, Germany) threatens the biodiversity in the Ahlhorner Fischteichte nature area. OOWV, the local drinking water supplier, set up a field test to denitrify the water and stop the nitrate problems in this natural area.
The pilot filter system is a combination of a reed bed and a so-called moving bed bioreactor filter.
