(WESTERVILLE, OH — April 23, 2012) “Introduction to the Phytoremediation of Common Groundwater Contaminants,” a one-hour Webinar presented by the National Ground Water Association, will take place June 5, 2012 at 1 p.m. ET.
Attendees will learn how trees can remediate many common groundwater contamination problems during this online presentation by Dr. James E. Landmeyer, a research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
Fundamentals of phytoremediation processes with respect to groundwater contaminants will be addressed, as will the installation and monitoring of phytoremediation systems.
