Unregulated Olive Wastewater Discharge and Its Impact on Ecosystems

In this video, we explore our collaborative project to monitor water quality around olive oil extraction sites. Project partners recently gathered in Marrakesh, Morocco, where IGB experts guided us during a field visit, demonstrating the methods and locations for data collection. Using both natural ecosystems and controlled pilot systems, we’re assessing the environmental impacts of Olive Mill Wastewater (OMWW) discharge under various scenarios. By simulating conditions found in real-world ecosystems, this project will provide valuable insights into the ecological effects of unregulated OMWW discharge and help inform environmental protection strategies.re our collaborative project to monitor water quality around olive oil extraction sites.
