Investigation of the potential of denitrification in shallow groundwater to mitigate nitrate concentrations in Flemish surface water bodies. KU Leuven
Despite extensive efforts, nitrate concentrations in the surface water continue to rise in some regions in Flanders, suggesting additional knowledge is necessary to reach future targets. In this context, fundamental insight in the relation between groundwater and surface water is becoming increasingly important. One relatively unknown and promising factor is denitrification in the groundwater. In this project, the potential of denitrification ...

PhageLAND: Phage treatment and the constructed wetland technology to prevent antibiotic resistance spreading via surface water KU Leuven
PhageLAND aims to develop a new intervention strategy, in which the low cost and ecological capacity of constructed wetlands will be combined with a phage-based biopurification to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance from wastewater in surface waters. The bacterial targets within this project
are antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens originating from (waste) water that cause life-threatening infections. These multidrug ...
