SinoTropia Final Conference

After 3.5 years of interdiciplinary research the partners of the Sino-Norwegian bilateral research Project:

Watershed Eutrophication management in China through system oriented process modelling of Pressures, Impacts and Abatement actions

will present their findings and policy relevant recommandations.

 

The presentations will be given before lunch. After luch there will be arranged a visit to the water work that cleans the water re-routed fron the Yantze watercourse.
