The Eawag Plankton Camera allows imaging of planktonic microbes in their natural environment without disrupting or disturbing natural aggregation of species. The camera is a darkfield dual-magnification microscope that uses a USB3 machine vision camera with and embedded ARM-based computer for real-time object detection and recording.

Description
Multilateral development banks (MDBs) play a pivotal role in financing water and sanitation infrastructure projects and thus have a major impact on the development of basic services. Although information about the MDBs' investments is publicly available, it is dispersed and not easily comparable. A comprehensive compilation of MDBs' water and sanitation investments has long been lacking. To address this gap, we assess water and sanitation financing by the three MDBs most relevant to Africa and Asia between 1960 and 2020: the World Bank, the African Development Bank, and the Asian Development Bank. We compile a new dataset by drawing on 3,639 water and sanitation projects and assess territorial trends, technology choices, distribution of financial burdens, and reforms to institutional arrangements. We find that MDBs' investments align with changing patterns of urbanization and increasingly finance sanitation infrastructures including non-sewered technologies. However, our results also suggest that institutional reforms have addressed utility efficiency through investment in equipment and skills rather than through increased commercialization and private sector participation. The leverage effect of MDB investment on private financing is negligible, whereas co-financing from local governments dominates.

In this project we analyze substances of abuse and their metabolites in wastewater as independent indicators for community-wide consumption. Various markers are monitored: Drugs: cocaine (benzoylecgonine), crack (AEME), amphetamine, methamphetamine, ecstasy (MDMA) and cannabis (THC-COOH). Opioids: cough suppressants (codeine, dextromethorphan), heroin (morphine), methadone, oxycodone and tramadol. Other medications: antidepressants (Citalopram, Trazodone and Venlafaxine), stimulants (Ritalin), sedatives (Oxazepam), anesthetics (Ketamine), antibiotics (Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim), anticonvulsants (Carbamazepine). Alcohol, tobacco and nicotine

The analysis of municipal wastewaters for drugs and their metabolic products to estimate community consumption is a developing field, involving scientists working in different research areas, including analytical chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, sewage engineering, spatial epidemiology and statistics, and conventional drug epidemiology. This page presents the findings from studies conducted since 2011. Data from all studies can be explored through an interactive tool, and a detailed analysis of the findings of the most recent study, in 2023, is presented.

Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) is an international initiative with the goal of repeatedly surveying the world's estimated 200,000 glaciers. GLIMS uses data collected by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument aboard the Terra satellite and the LANDSAT series of satellites, along with historical observations. The GLIMS initiative has created a unique glacier inventory, storing information about the extent and rates of change of all the world's mountain glaciers and ice caps.

Damit sich die Schweiz auf den Klimawandel einstellen kann, sind detaillierte Kenntnisse zu den möglichen Auswirkungen auf Gewässer und Wasserhaushalt notwendig. Der Bundesrat hat daher das Bundesamt für Umwelt beauftragt, hydrologische Grundlagen für Anpassungsmassnahmen bereitzustellen. Dazu gehören die Erweiterung des Wissens über hydrologische Prozesse, das Dokumentieren der bereits beobachteten Veränderungen sowie die Berechnung von Zukunftsszenarien, welche teilweise auf der vorliegenden Plattform angeboten werden.

Description
Nitrat überschreitet den Grenzwert von 25 mg/l im Grundwasser landesweit an 15% aller Messstellen. In überwiegend ackerbaulich geprägten Gebieten liegen die Konzentrationen an knapp 50% der Messstellen über dem Grenzwert. Grundwasser enthält von Natur aus nur wenig Nitrat. Für Grundwasser, das als Trinkwasser genutzt wird oder dafür vorgesehen ist, gilt gemäss Gewässerschutzverordnung GSchV ein Grenzwert («numerische Anforderung») von 25 Milligramm pro Liter (mg/l). In den letzten zehn Jahren wurde dieser Grenzwert landesweit an bis zu 18% der Messstellen der Nationalen Grundwasserbeobachtung NAQUA überschritten.

The Sea Ice Index provides a quick look at Arctic- and Antarctic-wide changes in sea ice. It is a source for consistent, up-to-date sea ice extent and concentration images, in PNG format, and data values, in GeoTIFF and ASCII text files, from November 1978 to the present. Sea Ice Index images also depict trends and anomalies in ice cover calculated using a 30-year reference period of 1981 through 2010. The images and data are produced in a consistent way that makes the Index time-series appropriate for use when looking at long-term trends in sea ice cover.

Die Niederschlagsmengen können von Jahr zu Jahr stark variieren. Seit Beginn der Messungen lässt sich für die gesamte Schweiz kein eindeutiger Trend feststellen. Im nordöstlichen Mittelland hingegen haben die Niederschläge im Winter zugenommen. Für alle anderen Regionen der Schweiz sowie zu den Jahreszeiten lässt sich keine klare Tendenz beobachten. Allerdings sind Starkniederschläge in der Schweiz häufiger geworden.

The WEI+ provides a measure of total water consumption as a percentage of the renewable freshwater resources available for a given territory and period. The WEI+ is an advanced geo-referenced version of the WEI. It quantifies how much water is abstracted monthly or seasonally and how much water is returned before or after use to the environment via river basins (e.g. leakages, discharges by economic sectors). The difference between water abstractions and water returns is regarded as ‘water consumption’.
