N2 - Leptothrix sp. was identified as the causative agent producing ochre problems in an intensively irrigated area near the Dead Sea. By creating anaerobic or microaerophilic conditions in experimental drainpipes in the field with siphons installed at the outlet or in intermediate manhole, ochre production was avoided. Similarly, clogged drainpipes were cleaned within weeks by raising the groundwater level around the pipe.
