Training course in Ecohydrology (New on 20/02/2012) :

A free attending full day training course on EcoHydrology problem solving is planned on Wednesday 30rd of May.

Ecohydrolgy aims to use the combined effects of water related flow regulation and natural processes to manage and reduce water pollution related to human activity. These are low cost effective solutions contributing to the water resource recycling both in agricultural and urban landscapes. Ecohydrology also contributes to the greening and attractiveness of rapidly expanding urban areas.

More details can be found on EcoHydrology implementation at the following link : http://www.erce.unesco.lodz.pl/ .

The objective of the training course is to work on case studies  proposed by the participants. To do so, case studies description should be sent by end of February to the given email addresses:   This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
