Info Day Magazine
The annual Eawag Info Day is an important platform for exchange between science and practice. The Info Day magazine supplements the event and as from 2022 replaces the previous conference proceedings. It provides a comprehensive overview of the topic of the Info Day. Furthermore, additional information, pictures and videos are available online.
The printed edition of the Info Day Magazine is published in German and French. The online edition is also available in English.
Info Day Magazine 2025: Groundwater – utilising and protecting the resource drinking water
80% of Switzerland's drinking water comes from groundwater. Its protection is becoming increasingly difficult, especially in the densely utilised Central Plateau. New or newly focussed pollutants such as PFAS are raising new questions. Higher water temperatures and longer periods of drought as a result of climate change are exacerbating the situation.
Can suppliers continue to supply consumers with virtually untreated groundwater under these circumstances? Why have problems that have long been recognised, such as nitrate pollution, still not really been solved? Eawag researchers addressed such questions at the Eawag Info Day on 4 September 2025. They presented results and tools that support practitioners and administrators in safeguarding the quality and quantity of drinking water resources. We present the most important content in the Info Day Magazine.
