Development of an integrated land management through sustainable water and nutrient matter use in Northeast Germany (ELaN)

Collaborative Project


Contract period: 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2015
Coordinating institution: Institute for Landscape Water Resources

The research project ELaN aims at coupling technological innovations for water, nutrient and carbon management together with organisational innovations for an adapted land management. This goes along with innovations of socio-economic forms of governance for the implementation and economical valuation of those combined model solutions. They include the use of purified waste water in order to support the landscape water balance and the cultivation of energy plants. These local model solutions are developed further to regional systems solutions of sustainable land use in close co-ordination with stakeholders. The resilience and sustainability of model and system solutions will be ensured by an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge management.
