The project aims to create a networking centre of interest for knowledge-based solutions to reduce the impact of tourism on inland water quality.
Building trust between target groups and partners involved to raise awareness on lake pollution is the main objective of the project. Cooperation between research institutions and local and other authorities remains insufficient. Trust-based cooperation and networking will allow better identification of current environmental problems and the search for knowledge-based solutions.
