After a major flood catastrophe, a precious information is the delineation of the affected areas. Remote sensing imagery, especially synthetic aperture radar, allows to obtain a global and complete view of the situation. However, the detection of the flood ...
Estrogenic substances discharged from wastewater treatment plants have been detected in surface sediments of receiving waters, but little is known of their vertical migration through buried sediments and their potential to contaminate subsurface waters. Th ...
Decreasing water availability per capita in more and more countries is the result of bad management over the past centuries. The 'world water crisis', however, is not inevitable. The concept of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has been promoted ...
