SOWAEUMED - Case Study I : Monitoring of water and lake sediment quality in natural environment : Programme and Abstracts

Project SOWAEUMED – Network in solid waste and water treatment between Europe and Mediterranean countries – is a Coordination and support action (CSA) of the EU 7th Framework Programme (FP7), category CAPACITIES, which refers to strengthening the research potential of the Mediterranean countries, in order to enable them to collaborate in the future on scientific projects with research institutions of the EU on an equal footing basis. The Case Study I entitled "Monitoring of Water and Lake Sediment Quality in Natural Environment" is organized at the Plitvice Lakes National Park from 29 May to 1 June 2011 by the Laboratory for Measurements of Low-level Radioactivity of the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia. The RBI staff will present their recent research on monitoring quality of water and lake sediments in the natural environment, with the emphasis on the parameters controlling processes of carbonate precipitation from natural water and possible contaminants that may affect these processes. The Case Study I will include lectures by scientists from Croatia and neighbouring countries associated with their studies of the overall eco-system of lakes and the surrounding area, and lectures by the foreign partners on a project related to their research of environmental pollutants. Field trips with the aim to demonstrate in situ measurements and sampling of water and lake sediments are foreseen. The booklet contains basic information on the SOWAEUMED project and the Case Study I, agenda and abstracts of the lectures, and bibliography of the RBI publications concerning studies of the Plitvice Lakes.
