I and the charity Clean ...

I and the charity Clean Rivers Trust have been involved in the development of reedbeds and wetlands to suit the treatment of different pollutions and the clean up of prior pollutions. The organisation was established 28 years ago to carry out this work and has been working with several UK Government Agencies such as the Coal Authority, Home Office and Ministry of Defence. We have also worked with chemical, pharma, mining and agricultural companies.

The Trust has carried out similar work in the Middle East, East and North Africa. I gave a paper on the values of reedbeds and wetlands for pollution remediation at the Ulusal Su Ve Saglic Kongesi in Antalya in 2015. I have developed a good and growing understanding of the river systems and and hydrogeological conditions of many parts of the country as well as a great affection for the land and its people (my wife is Turkish).

The use of reedbeds for the treatment of many pollutions can lead to sustainable and l;onglived answers to problems' they can also be developed to remove pollution from contaminated environments and at the same time benefit the ecology of areas that have been damaged in the past.
