Impact-based integrated real-time control for improvement of the Dommel River water quality Ghent University
The KALLISTO project aims at finding cost-efficient sets of measures to meet the Water Framework Directive (WFD) derived goals for the river Dommel.

Based on this monitoring campaign, detailed ...
