The removing of selected pharmaceuticals on WWTP in the Czech Republic

In this article, the results of three years monitoring of selected pharmaceuticals (diclofenac, ibuprofen, carbamazepine, salicylic acid, clofibric acid) in the wastewaters of the Czech Republic are presented. The monitoring was performed on selected Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) with various treatment technology and designed capacity. The concentrations and treatment efficiency of these substances were observed in various profiles of each WWTP, including influent, mechanical pretreatment, biological treatment, effluent. The main processes of removing selected pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment are discussed. These results are used for design wastewater treatment technology with improved treatment efficiency of these substances

Project 5.1: Protection of water quality in drinking water reservoirs - Reduction of detrimental effects of eutrophication by biomanipulation. Project report for phase I and programme of work for phase II

4 Czech and 3 Norwegian drinking water reservoirs have been discussed as a basis for cooperation between scientist from two countries to exchange experiences on restoration of eutrophicated lakes and reservoirs. Feasibility studies will be carried out as a basis for action plans in which an optimal combination of of nutrient diversion, biomanipulation and other lake restoration measure will be analysed according to limnological, economical and technical premises.The Norwegian Ministry of environmen
