• One who knows and knows that he knows... His horse of wisdom will reach the skies.
• One who knows, but doesn't know that he knows... He is fast asleep, so you should wake him up!
• One who doesn't know, but knows that he doesn't know... His limping mule will eventually get him home.
• One who doesn't know and doesn't know that he doesn't know... He will be eternally lost in his hopeless oblivion!
Ibn Yamin Faryumadi (1286-1368)

Why Bioreactors ?a Proven technology
a Requires no modification of current practices
a No land taken out of production
a No decrease in drainage effectiveness
a Very low maintenance
a Estimated life - 10 to 15 years
a Cost effective
