Kaunas University in Lithuania has partnered up with various organisations to develop a new
wastewater treatment system, reports state.
The system has already been tested in laboratories and it is hoped that the method will eventually be used on an industrial scale.
According to professor Viktoras Racys of the University of Technology, said that polluted water can be treated, but the process "costs a lot".
"We developed the treatment using three processes in one piece of equipment - a reactor," he explained.
Mr Racys continued: "The pollutants are degraded by micro-organisms created within the reactor."
In related news, water organisations in the UK were warned by director of water management for the Environment Agency David King that they must do more tackle the risk of water pollution.
