National Research Programme "Sustainable water management" (NRP 61)


Is drinking water derived from rivers still clean enough?  

Almost one third of the groundwater is recharged by river water. River water, sometimes contaminated by waste water, is cleansed through riverbank filtration. The consequences of the changing climate on riverbank filtration are not yet known. Can drinking water quality be enhanced by means of improved wastewater treatment?

Prof. Dr. Urs von Guten 
presents the research work carried out in the scope of the project.
