Description
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.Main research areas:
-
Extreme hydrological conditions
-
Microplastics
-
Hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and ecological processes of river habitats
-
Freshwater ecology and nature protection
-
Early-warning algae dynamic prediction system
-
Karst hydrogeology, hydrogeological monitoring
-
Integrated urban hydrological management
-
5G-based rainfall monitoring system
Benefits to be expected from laboratory research
- Development of a sampling tool for determining plastic contamination, and setting up a data set on the qualitative and quantitative occurrence of plastic contamination
- Laboratory technological developments in research and regional laboratories
- Enhancement of monitoring and data collection systems, collection of new data
- Development of novel environmental monitoring techniques and applications
- Establishment of a hydrogeological measurement site
- Learning of the effect of land use and other anthropogenic alterations on freshwater ecosystems
- Development of climate adaptation solutions in the field of drought, inland water, urban hydrology and ecological services of watercourses
- Exploring the population dynamics of microbiota, macro- and micro-vegetation
- Exploring the role of hydrodynamic and community factors that determine the diversity and community organization of living organisms in the River Danube, as well as clarifying the role of human influences in changing the hydrodynamic and bed morphological conditions of the river and its floodplain, and in the transformation of river habitats
- Exploration of plant stock and plant biomass regeneration processes in order to optimize annual stock thinning
- Exploring the effect of stock reduction on the biological diversity of the microflora and on the algae-animal interactions
- Lake Tisza reservoir simulation model
- Hydrological warning system for small watersheds
- Clarifying the calculation of the water balance components in the case of Lake Balaton and Lake Fertő
- A short- and ultra-short-term hydrological warning system that helps to effectively prepare for severe, damaging weather events in small watersheds (e.g. flash floods)
- Development of hierarchically structured, three-dimensional soil hydrology databases based on pedotransfers and creation of web map data services
- A new competence for the targeted creation of synthetic algal-bacterial cultures for bioenergetic, bioremediation and environmental condition-diagnostic purposes
- Application of genomic methods during monitoring tests for compliance with the new VKI
- Provision of comparative data on the operation and efficiency of individual small wastewater treatment equipment
- Methodological development for the identification of water quality changes (indicator parameters) in surface water catchment areas using modular on-line monitoring and early warning systems (EWS)
- Development of methods to support the water quality assessment approach of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) using network analysis procedures
- Creation of an international database of micropollutants in our waters
- Basic research data on the environmental status of Lake Balaton, and on various fresh waters in general
- 5 G-based precipitation measurement methods are developed in urban environment
- AI software development related to urban stormwater management
- Wastewater monitoring to understand the process of cleaning systems
- Development of methodological proposals for engineering design and operation
