Andreas Fath works at the Hochschule Furtwangen on a research project for water purification systems. The target of his work is the optimized treatment of the Rhine water in to a lower pollutant content of drinking water. Hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, drugs and fertilizers burden the Rhine and cannot be removed by 100% with the previous water treatment. To enable him to continue his research project for an improved water purification, the Professor will, accompanied by an attendant and film team, throw himself for four weeks into the flood.
Andreas Fath will take water samples on numerous stations of the Rhine. The Alfred Wegener Institute in Helgoland will analyze the samples taken with the filters and fittings from Wolftechnik.
More information on the project „Rheines Wasser“ and the status on the stages put behind one can find daily pictured on the campaign page
www.rheines-wasser.eu and on facebook under

An interview of the SWR broadcast with the professor is available on youtube:
