aware assessing the fate of pesticides and waterborne contaminants

Two main issues have a high impact in the agricultural food production: the lack of water resources in some European countries and pollution with pesticides. The use of pesticides for pest control is a common practice.

In some European countries the use of treated wastewater has been implemented for irrigation when natural freshwater sources are scarce.
