10th Water Research Horizon Conference

von | 16.04.19

The Water Research Horizon Conference (WRHC) is aimed to be a platform for the dialogue on the grand challenges in water research. In its frame, the scientific community meets annually to discuss among the various disciplines to be met and overcome by integrated approaches.
The conference is not a scientific conference, where research results and projects are presented. In fact, the organizers intend to bring together national and international scientists, practitioners and policy-makers with diverse backgrounds. Participants will engage in a multi-lateral and multidisciplinary exchange about the role of research in addressing the challenges of water security and food security in the face of global change. Focus will be on the science needed to make informed decisions about water allocations and uses now and in the future. The vision is a world without hunger and with a sufficient quantity and quality of water for the various needs of the people, without compromising the vitality of ecosystems. This perspective will guide the presentations as well as discussion panels that are organised in six thematic sessions.
The six sessions are divided into two thematic groups: Group A is named "Water for Food Security" and comprises the topics Balancing Water Quantity and Quality for Agriculture, Economics of Food and Water and Water-related Ecosyytems and Agriculture. The thematic group B, "Secure Water for All", deals with Managing Water Storage Capacities, Urban Water Security and Making the Most of Marginal Water.
The preliminary conference program is already available under www.water-research-horizon.de

The role of nanoplastic in marine pollution is greater than assumed

Nanoplastic particles are less than one micrometre in size, but by mass, their share in marine pollution is comparable to that of microplastic. This is the result of a study conducted by scientists from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).
