Abstract:
The training provides a comprehensive overview of the key technologies and methods used to monitor water quality across a wide range of contexts — from natural ecosystems and urban environments to industrial and agricultural applications. Participants will explore practical tools, data collection techniques, and emerging innovations that help assess, protect, and manage water resources effectively.
Designed to be accessible to a broad audience, this program does not require prior knowledge in environmental engineering. It is ideal for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of water quality. The focus is on the Polimi community, including students, professors, researchers, and all interested members of the institution.
