Use visual and acoustic ‘scarers’ to deter birds from landing on pools polluted by mining or sewage
A literature review (Ronconi et al. 2004) suggests that the use of radar-activated deterrent systems both increases effectiveness at deterring waterbirds at contaminated sites and reduces the cost necessary (compared to conventional methods) to achieve success.
