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 ...
The present thesis is part of a project exploring new possibilities to remediate soils polluted by insecticide lindane and herbicide atrazine. It is the Indo-Swiss project entitled "Development of Phytoremediation Techniques Using Interactive Potential of ...
The herbicide transport and the groundwater vulnerability to pesticide contamination were studied in the alluvial aquifer of the Rhône River Valley near Martigny (Southwest Switzerland). The low clay and organic matter content of the soil, the intensive ag ...
As the World Health Organization (WHO) progresses with provisional Drinking Water Guidelines of 1 mu g/L for microcystin-LR and a proposed Guideline of 1 mu g/L for cylindrospermopsin, efficient treatment strategies are needed to prevent cyanotoxins such a ...
The relative influences of hydrologic processes and biogeochemistry on the transport and retention of minor solutes were compared in the riverbed of the lower Merced River (California, USA). The subsurface of this reach receives ground water discharge and ...
Time resolved optical Kerr effect measurements have been used to det. the orientational dynamics of water in the pores of ZrO2 nanostructured films. We demonstrate that local heating effects can safely be ignored and present our results which are manifestl ...
Multifunctional genes are expected to evolve at lower rates because mutations in such genes that improve one function might often have deleterious effects on other functions. Here we tested for an association between multifunctionality and evolutionary rat ...
As a response to the continuous increase of use on fertilizers and pesticides in last decades related to agricultural practices, the European Union (EU) has adopted in 1991 the Nitrate Directive 91/676/EEC (EU 2000). More recently the “Water Framework Dire ...
Iron isotopes were used to investigate iron transformation processes during an in situ field experiment for removal of dissolved Fe from reduced groundwater. This experiment provided a unique setting for exploring Fe isotope fractionation in a natural syst ...
A perstraction system using liq.-core microcapsules for pesticide and herbicide removal from aq. environments is proposed. The microcapsules contain an oil, di-Bu sebacate, surrounded by a hydrogel membrane. The extn. efficiency of the capsules was demonst ...
