... as was realising that, although the causes of #waterquality impairment sometimes differ greatly — such as with phosphorus emissions — the tools and methods we develop could benefit both regions.

We truly hope that this marks the beginning of a fruitful future #collaboration.

One more year to go and to investigate the requirements for bank filtrate and #treatment trains, and to assess their suitability for tackling current challenges posed by #emerging #pollutants.
Stay tuned for our final results!
