Abstract:
In recent years, like many small North Carolina communities, Hookerton (on the southern bank of Contentnea Creek in Greene County) has seen a precipitous decline in its economic and population base. Thus, its wastewater treatment system is in disrepair. But Hookerton has latched on to the duckweed wastewater treatment system that uses duckweed lagoons as bioreacters to generate clean water.
