Short description:

EXTRACT: A good start for looking at achievements in AquaTerra is to consider water as the phase that links between all compartments studied (atmosphere, soils, aquifers, surface runoff and sediments). It is the transport and reaction medium in almost all environmental processes and was considered in an integrative way in AquaTerra. Its flow was modelled accounting for changes in precipitation and runoff to be expected in different climate projections to assess the influence on pollutant behaviour.
