Research network on groundwater: searching for pollutants underground
"In the joint project 'gwTriade', six scientific institutes, including Goethe University as coordinator, are researching groundwater quality in Germany. Using the innovative triad approach, they are combining chemical analyses with effect-based methods in order to understand the effects of pollutants on the ecosystem. The aim is to develop an assessment concept that water suppliers and environmental authorities can use to test groundwater quality themselves. In the face of climate change and the threat of water scarcity, the importance of this research project is becoming increasingly clear."
