Bacteria in lakes fight climate change
Research
Eawag
Methane-oxidizing bacteria could play a greater role than previously thought in preventing the release of climate-damaging methane from lakes.
Four billion people estimated to lack safe drinking water services
Politics
Eawag
More than half of the global population were estimated to lack safely managed drinking water services in a recent study lead by Eawag researchers. This is shown in a global map that researchers compiled using machine learning based on data from household surveys and data derived from Earth observations.
Innovative water solutions for sustainable cities
Research
Eawag
Cities need to become more sustainable and use their water resources more efficiently. Managing water in small-scale cycles is one possible solution. A new white paper shows how this can be achieved.
Predicting the toxicity of chemicals with AI
Research
Eawag
Researchers at Eawag and the Swiss Data Science Center have trained AI algorithms with a comprehensive ecotoxicological dataset. Now their machine learning models can predict how toxic chemicals are to fish.
A list of priorities for the protection of biodiversity
Research
Eawag
Biodiversity is dwindling rapidly, while measures to protect it are lagging behind the targets. Only one thing can help: utilising scarce resources as efficiently as possible where they are most effective. The “Lanat-3” research project lays the foundation for this with the help of the latest data and AI-supported models.
Impact of high-temperature heat storage on groundwater
Research
Eawag
An Eawag project is investigating how borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) affects the surrounding soil, the groundwater and the microorganisms living in it.
