Briefing: Intensive inland aquaculture ponds: challenges and research opportunities
T. Vamsi Nagaraju, B. M. Sunil
Abstract
This briefing presents an overview of inland aquaculture scenario that focuses on challenges of aquaculture farming, contaminant transport and the future of aqua farming in a broader perspective of environmental geotechnics. Un-engineered aquaculture practices are a cause of concern, and special attention is necessary in waste water management, cross-contamination with the adjacent environment, sludge–subsoil interaction, pond embankment slope failure, leachate migration into the vadose zone, geoenvironmental remediation strategies and geotechnical engineering aspects of engineered pond construction.
