Abstract:
In the preceding series of contributions to ESPR typical examples from actual fields of water chemistry were presented on various topics: integrated water quality management, diagnosis of water bodies, therapy of aquatic systems, and fitness for aquatic systems. These contributions clearly showed the need and importance of more intensive research. In the principle committee III 'Basic Research' of the Water Chemical Society, various expert groups work on scientific backgrounds in these fields. Some relevant topics are selected in this outlook, mainly on interactions of solids with water, the role of environmental colloids, the development of modern biochemical methods for diagnosis, the impact of chemical speciation on bioavailability and water technology, and the development of advanced methods in water treatment technology. Innovative approaches to understand the interactions between pollutants, water and solids are crucial for assessment of contaminants with biochemical and analytical methods, for the development of new efficient technologies and for application of treatment methods with little or no waste and by-product formation.
