Extension of the Indo-German Competence Centre for Riverbank Filtration
July 1, 2020
| Environment
The overarching aim is to strengthen the cooperation in education and research between Germany and India in sustainable water resources management over a 3-year period from July 2020 to June 2023. The focus is on natural treatment techniques of riverbank filtration (RBF), managed aquifer recharge, and constructed wetlands. This is to be achieved through an extension of the activities and partners (German and Indian) of the existing ‘Riverbank Filtration Network (RBFN)’ partnership that exists since 2008.

Microbial indicators of anthropogenic stress in the mangrove ecosystems of Goa
May 28, 2020
| Environment
Studies of microbial community responses to heavy metal pollution and remediation of real-world multi-metal sites has rarely been done. It is important to understand how microorganisms are affected by heavy metal pollution. Microbes control most biogeochemical processes and ecosystem productivity and hence important to study the relationship between the stress due to metals and their diversity.
