This episode features professor Dragana Tomašević Pilipović, professor from the University of Novi Sad and Harald Loishandl Weisz, expert in water depollution from Environment Agency Austria.

The experts discuss water pollution, the importance of preserving water resources, and strategies for ensuring water sustainability for future generations.
