Integrated water and soil protection
The protection and sustainable use of natural resources such as soil, water and vegetation are the focus of our research activities. Key focus areas include water and wastewater infrastructure, agricultural irrigation, wastewater and sewage sludge treatment, the use of organic residues and waste, soil protection, and the reduction of nutrient surpluses.
