- Unsanitary pig-waste disposal
Incidence
Manure from intensive pig production is affecting the quality of the Belgian water supply, according to a 1998 OECD report. In Brittany, one of the wettest regions of France, pig slurry has contaminated so large an area that there is a severe water shortage. There are 12 million pigs and 3.2 million people in Brittany.
