Publication of an enriched e-book about the protection of catchments and the fight against diffuse pollution:

To facilitate understanding the methods of protecting water catchments and the fight against diffuse pollution, the International Office for Water (IOWater) publishes an enriched book with financial support from the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB).
