Our aim is to develop innovative strategies and techniques to improve the rivers of tomorrow.
In our current context of global change, human activity is one of the main causes of the ecological degradation of our rivers.
We have a multidisciplinary team of professionals from the fields of environmental management and restoration, waste water treatment and scientific research, which allows us to tackle the issue from various angles.
We have 15 channels with continuous water flow and 12 flood basins designed for experimental purposes with the aim of studying how to improve the quality of the water flowing along our highly humanised rivers.
Our goal is to develop new tools and strategies to improve the quality and management of highly altered rivers. Our research seeks to generate new knowledge for a better understanding of the functioning of rivers in today’s changing environment.
