One of Hungary's strategic water sectors is the supply drinking water, which relies heavily on so-called riverbank filtration systems. About 35-40% national comes from filtered aquifers. Today in Hungary, 40% population; nearly four million people's daily needs are met In future, 75% our sources will be bank-filtered, means that they also great importance for future resource management. The mai...

Based on a two-step laboratory test including biodegradation and adsorption, it is possible to derive a prognosis of the behaviour of organic compounds during riverbank filtration and to prioritise the substances with regard to drinking water quality. It is shown for aromatic amines, used as an example of organics found in River Elbe water, Germany, how the simulation methods provide basic info...

Experimental infections of six riverbank populations of Galba truncatula with Fasciola hepatica were carried out to determine if the poor susceptibility of these populations to this digenean might be due to the scarcity or the absence of natural encounters between these snails and the parasite. The first three populations originated from banks frequented by cattle in the past (riverbank group) ...
