    Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) to mitigate droughts

    My main aim during my sabbatical is to build a bridge between groundwater science and society as well as politics. Climate and global change put enormous pressure on our water resources for drinking water production, water dependent ecosystems, irrigation and industrial use. Even in water-rich Switzerland, where 80% of the drinking water production is covered by groundwater, water managers nationwide think about artificially recharging aquifers to cover the growing demand of water and to adapt to climate change.

    Analyse fréquentielle des crues en Afrique de l'Ouest dans un contexte de changement climatique.

    Des inondations dévastatrices affectent de manière récurrente l'Afrique de l'Ouest.

The heritage we value and its role for living with water today and in the future can change over time. The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics stands exemplary: it activated concepts of the past for a rethinking of the Seine as swimmable river and heart of the city.

    'FARMS ON DRUGS’: ASSESSMENT OF VETERINARY ANTIBIOTIC USE, LIVESTOCK TREATMENT AND OCCURRENCE OF VETERINARY ANTIBIOTICS IN LIVESTOCK MANURE AND SOILS WITHIN FARMS IN RONGAI SUB-COUNTY, NAKURU COUNTY, KENYA

    Extensive use of antibiotics globally and their residues in the environment have increasingly become a growing concern. The livestock sector in Kenya plays an important role in supporting livelihoods of a significant part of the population and is key to attaining food and nutrition security in the country. Growing demand for livestock products has necessitated an increase in the uptake of large-scale animal rearing and increased use of veterinary drugs.
