Safe water for everyone
As costs have come down membrane technology has become an attractive option.
 

Safe water for everyone

More than 900 million people currently lack access to safe drinking water. With its research on decentralized water treatment, Eawag helps to resolve one of the biggest health problems. Laboratory and pilot experiments, such as the self-sufficient module «Self», show that point-of-use water treatment with membrane technology can make it possible to produce safe drinking water even under most rudimentary conditions.

Welcome

They are an effective tool for presenting facts in a comprehensible manner and helpful for interdisciplinary exchange and communication with the public. Further topics: the potential of hydroelectric power in view of nuclear power phase-out, toads need more space and matured woods, the history of our climate as told by ice cores. [...]

  Tiny life forms thriving again in Lake Zurich
While elsewhere species extinction is proceeding at an ever-increasing rate, plankton biodiversity in Lake Zurich is apparently benefiting from rising temperatures and the successful measures against over-fertilization. Begun in the 1970s, this course of action may have a long-term positive effect on fish diversity, although it is too soon to tell. The new species are being watched closely by the water supply company, for some of them can produce harmful substances. [...]
