P-TRAP will target two interlinked global problemsI) the flux of phosphate from agricultural areas – as a becoming scarce resource -
to surface watersII) an enhanced loading of surface water with phosphate as the main cause for
eutrophication.Both are in conflict with our understanding of circular economy and a key challengein meeting the objectives of the EU Water Framework Directive.P-TRAP will develop new methods and approaches to trap phosphate in drainedagricultural areas and in the sediments of eutrophic lakesP-TRAP aims on constraining the uncontrolled loss of phosphate in one system andpreventing the others from overloading.P-TRAP aims also at converting the trapped phosphate into fertilizers and soilconditioners and test their suitability in agricultural applications.
