Overview: This webinar will introduce the Wetland+ & LIFEPOPWAT project, focusing on an innovative constructed wetland technology developed for the bioremediation of HCH-contaminated drainage waters. Led within the LIFEPOPWAT initiative and presented by the Technical University of Liberec, the session will explore how nature-based treatment systems can address persistent pesticide pollution through integrated physical, chemical and biological processes. Participants will learn about the Wetland+ treatment train, long-term removal performance, microbial community dynamics, and the role of biodiversity in enhancing contaminant degradation. The webinar will highlight how combining constructed wetlands with microbial and ecological approaches contributes to sustainable water remediation and environmental resilience.
Note: The session starts promptly at 10:00 AM (CET). Please join 5 minutes early to test your audio/video.
