We are sad to announce that Dr. Annette Johnson, a senior scientist at EAWAG has passed away. Annette Johnson worked in research at Eawag for about 30 years. One of her special areas was the handling of geogenic trace substances in groundwater and drinking water. She was also the coordinator of the Water Resource Quality (WRQ) project . This was an integrated project aimed at developing a generally applicable framework for the mitigation of geogenic contamination in groundwater used for drinking, in particular concerning arsenic and fluoride. The Water Network had the opportunity to interview Annette on geogenic contamination of groundwater. We would like to honor her memory by featuring it once again. Our hearts go out to her family and friends.
