24 September, 2007 | Supplied by: Veldonas
The Rovatti effluent management solutions are reversing a problem situation into a positive management technique for farm owners or managers. Within the dairy industry alone, twice as much effluent is being produced as milk and the treatment of this effluent requires a great deal of planning as environmental agencies are regularly monitoring the agricultural industry to ensure that this effluent is retained within property boundaries and is not discharged into drains and watercourses, and does not contaminate groundwater. Farm operators are required to disperse effluent in an appropriate manner and with the Rovatti management system effluent can be treated and dispersed in a managed manner onto pasture land to act as a natural fertiliser.
