Making the invisible water crisis visible

While achieving the United Nations (UN) ambitious Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for wastewater treatment would cause substantial improvements in global water quality, severe water quality issues would continue to persist in some world regions. So conclude researchers at Utrecht University. They have developed a new water quality model to further elucidate the current and future pollution status of rivers and streams globally. The paper was published on 6 October in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.
