A study is underway in Louisiana to determine whether treated wastewater could be used to replenish ailing wetlands on the Mississippi River's West Bank, according to U.S. Water News Online (www.uswaternews.com).
The $200,000 study, to be completed this year by Louisiana State University scientists, will consider the feasibility and environmental soundness of pumping water from three sewage-treatment plants into wetlands of the Barataria.
