Add to ORKGWorldwide increase of water shortage and competition for fresh water is raising the awareness that an increase in water use efficiency in horticulture is a necessity. At the same time, environmental awareness and legislation (e.g. the EU Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC) restricts the emissions of nutrients and plant protection products (PPPs). In the Netherlands in soilless growing systems much effort is put into measures to enable maximal recycling of nutrient solutions, thereby decreasing the required amount of fresh water needed and the emission of nutrients and PPPs. Recycling of water fluxes also implicates that the drain water has to be disinfected to prevent rapid dispersal of pathogens. Heat treatment, filtration, Ozone and UV ...
