How to counter heavy rainfall: Looking for alternatives to channel expansion
Heavy rainfall events and flooding have been on the rise in recent years. Against this background, there is a massive need for action in dealing with concentrated water masses in order to avoid or minimise their sometimes devastating effects and damage as far as possible. [more]
Wastewater reuse - the way out of global water scarcity?
In large parts of the world, water is extracted from groundwater or surface water to meet the water needs of the population. However, these water resources are not available in unlimited quantities. A wastewater reuse project at Hof University of Applied Sciences is tackling this problem. [more]
Aquaponics: Ecological water purification in aquacultures - with less effort!
Researchers at Hof University of Applied Sciences want to reduce the amount of labour and materials used in the management of closed aquaculture facilities, among other things. This is to be achieved with the help of biodegradable, so-called "growth bodies" for water purification. [more]
