Are we researching what’s most important for management and society?
On September 23rd, the final webinar of the C-Hydrochange project took place. It addressed the main challenges for reservoir management and water quality from an applied perspective, as well as the latest advances in research within the context of global change.
The event also featured the participation of leading companies in water cycle management, who shared their reflections with representatives of the scientific community, who have promoted various lines of R&D&I on water quality within the framework of the project.
The C-Hydrochange project, which concluded with this webinar, focused on understanding how recurrent and long-lasting extreme hydrological events affect the carbon cycle in lakes and reservoirs, and how global warming will modify carbon dynamics in these ecosystems to determine how this could affect water quality.
