Abstract

AquaTerra is one of the first environmental Integrated Projects to be approved within the 6th EU Framework Programme. It has been active since the 1st June 2004 and will run for a five year period. The project comprises a multidisciplinary team of 45 partner organisations from 12 EU countries, Romania, Switzerland and Serbia. It will investigate the influence of pollutants on sediments, soil and water in selected catchments of five European river basins: the Danube, Elbe, Ebro, Meuse and Brévilles. The primary objective of the project is to provide an improved process understanding of the soil-groundwater-river-sediment-system. Results will be made available to interested specialists and the public.
