Workshop 6 (synthesis): monitoring, understanding and managing waste fluxes within a drainage basin

Waste is produced in a number of activities and transported within the drainage basin by natural as well as man-made processes. The pollution of water courses, i.e. rivers, lakes, coastal areas and other waterbodies, tends to negatively influence both use of the water and aquatic life. Tools are needed in order to decide on how to minimise the negative effects of waste fluxes, supported by appropriate monitoring procedures.
