30 partners from industry, water utilities, universities and other research institutes work together in the project that started in June 2016 and will be finished in May 2019. With 7.8 mio. € EU funding, 13 demonstration sites in Europe, India and Israel that cover a representative range of regional, climatic, and hydrogeological conditions were built and operated.
In detail, combinations of river bank filtration and several engineered post-treatment processes, the treatment and storage capacity of soil-aquifer systems in combination with engineered pre-treatment systems as well as the combination of constructed wetlands with different pre- or post-treatment processes were examined.
The BLUE PLANET Berlin Water Dialogues address interested representatives from the private and public sectore, academia, nongovernmental organizations, and other interested stakeholders. The program and registration link are given under www.blueplanetberlin.de
GEOMAR startet Ostsee-Expeditionen zur Erforschung von Seegras und Phytoplankton
Mit drei Forschungsexpeditionen in der Ostsee untersucht das GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel den Zustand von Seegraswiesen und Phytoplankton. Im Mittelpunkt stehen deren Bedeutung für den Kohlenstoffkreislauf sowie ihre Rolle als Indikatoren für den ökologischen Zustand des Meeres. Die gewonnenen Daten sollen dazu beitragen, die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels besser zu verstehen und wirksame Schutz- und Wiederherstellungsmaßnahmen für die Ostsee zu entwickeln.
