Proyecto NOR-WATER

NOR-WATER Project: Emerging pollutants in the waters of Galicia-Northern Portugal: New tools for risk management. The NOR-WATER Project is funded by the Interreg Programme Spain-Portugal (POCTEP) and runs from 2019 until middle 2022.

This project is aimed at identifying the main emerging pollutants (EPs) and their sources in the hydrographic basins of northern Portugal and Galicia. In addition, it is focused on developing, implementing and harmonizing a set of innovative multidisciplinary tools to minimize the impact of EPs on these water bodies. The project will also contribute to the improvement of water quality and will enhance the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in this cross-border area.
