Description
An assessment is made of the utilization of thermal effluent for agricultural purpose (viz. early vegetables, cereals, trees). Heated waters are being used in field experiments on soil heating, improvement of agricultural procedures and crop yields. Thermal pollution cannot be removed yet it is reduced to acceptable limits. New prospects are open to traditional agriculture, leading towards a more competitive industrial model
Abstract (French)
On fait un bilan des possibilites de reutilisation des rejets thermiques par l'agriculture (en particulier culture des primeurs, cereales et foresterie). La recuperation de la chaleur est utilisee a titre experimental pour le rechauffage des sols, pour la valorisation des techniques agricoles et pour une amelioration du rendement. Ce procede ne supprime pas totalement la nuisance thermique, mais permet de l'attenuer dans des limites acceptables. Des perspectives nouvelles s'offrent a l'agriculture ouvrant la voie a une evolution vers un modele industriel plus competitifAdditional details
