Considering Hungary's location, water management and water resources, the National Laboratory aims to support the implementation of water science and water safety innovations with our current research that contribute to the protection of water quality. The Laboratory assesses in detail the status of various surface and groundwater bodies, using laboratory measurements, computer simulations and taking into account the complexity and central importance of climate change, in order to ensure the security of groundwater resources, territorial and agricultural water management, the "smart" management of urban water, and the modernisation of water and wastewater treatment.
