Project WaterPro
| Project Acronym | WaterPro |
|---|---|
| Project Title | Northern Runoffs into Profits |
| Project subsite |
Summary
Water-Pro aims to develop and transfer eco-efficient tools and models for runoff management in the field of agriculture and mineral extraction in Northern and Arctic areas. Runoffs from both of these sectors have large volumes, but low concentrations of nutrients and other compounds – therefore some similar measures and practices could be utilised. Moreover, the climate change will bring further challenges in controlling runoffs and water safety in the near future.
Objectives
The objective of the preparatory project is to develop a high quality main project application.
