Geoinformation and clean water
What is the condition of a water course at a particular location? Where are watercourses in insufficient ecomorphological condition? How high is the concentration of pollutants in groundwater or in watercourses at a particular measuring point? Geoinformation also provides valuable information in the field of water availability and sustainable water management.
