NAWA-Fracht – National monitoring programme for substance load in swiss watercourses
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25678/00036W
The “National monitoring programme for substance load in swiss watercourses” (NAWA-Fracht, formerly known as NADUF) program was initiated in 1972 as a cooperative project between three institutes
- Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN)
- Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG)
- Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) (since 2003)
The following institutes participated later:
With the NAWA-Fracht program, the chemical-physical state of Swiss rivers as well as intermediate-term and long-term changes in concentration are observed. Furthermore, it provides data for scientific studies on biological, chemical and physical processes in river water. The NAWA-Fracht network serves as a basic data and sampling facility to evaluate the effectiveness of water protection measures and for various scientific projects.
