The main source of nutrient pollution entering our waterways is phosphorous and nitrogen-based fertiliser products used in urban environments such as domestic lawns.  These nutrients dissolve readily and are transported through groundwater and surface flows into the rivers and waterways.

Attempts have been made for years to reduce the impacts of these fertilisers, despite this, the Swan Canning Water Quality Improvement Plan recently released by the Swan River Trust noted that nutrients entering the Swan River at present are roughly double maximum levels that would be required for the rivers health to be restored.

Because it is impossible to trace where the nutrients are coming from it has always been considered impossible to use pollution control regulations that work for point-source pollutants to control nutrients.

A positive development in recent years has been the introduction of artificial grass in Perth's domestic market.  As artificial grass requires no fertilising this is a step forward in saving our environment in not only saving water but saving our beautiful rivers and streams.

Saving our Perth waterways is a priority and is just one of the many benefits artificial grass has over the tired, high maintenance traditional lawn. To see Termico Ecoturf's other benefits follow me...
