CAPTure™ Applications

Learn how CAPTure™ addresses the pressing challenges of water quality and resource management.

Water Resource Management Use Cases

Agriculture

CAPTure™ enhances the resiliency of agricultural operations. Tile losses are a major source of ag-related phosphorous loads in the Western Lake Erie Basin.

Objective

Find a cost-effective technology for capturing and potentially recovering phosphorus (closely watched for diminishing and finite supply) yielding economic water quality benefits.

Outcomes

  • A small footprint (<25 ft2 for every 25 acres of drainage) with no loss of productive fields
  • >40% annual dissolved P removal from CAPTure-treated tile flows and runoff

Wetlands

CAPTure™ represents a value-add technology for capture of wetland soluble P losses

Farming Consultants

An agile system that readily integrates into drainage tile installations with water control structures

Non-Governmental Organization

Supports phosphorus runoff mitigation strategies and programs

Regulatory Agencies

A solution to inform and support regulatory actions to address water quality
