Long Night of Sciences at UFZ Halle: Get to the bottom of groundwater

The Department of Hydrogeology took part in the Long Night of Sciences on 03.07.2026 with an experience stand where interested parties could use food coloring to test how pollutants spread in groundwater. Many people of all ages and professional backgrounds took the opportunity for scientific exchange with the HDG team and the other participating departments and institutions. Read more
