The Thames River Phosphorus Reduction Collaborative (PRC) has chosen five projects from 11 proposals to develop and test technologies that intercept and remove phosphorus from agricultural runoff. A total of $400,000 was awarded to projects that will gauge how efficiently each technology works in removing phosphorus from water that is released into the system.
