The recovery of aquatic systems impacted in the past and/or present by nutrients from the drainage basin, requires multiple strategies for controlling the causes and managing consequences. The process of rehabilitation involves overcoming diverse resilience mechanisms of physical, chemicals and biological nature.

With this in mind, the seminar focused on the current status of the rehabilitation of eutrophic systems, addressing especially techniques applied directly on the bodies of water, such as chemical isolation of the internal nutrient load and ultrasound for the cyanobacterial control, among others.

The activity counted on the participation of Miquel Lürling, PhD from the Wageningen University and Paula De Tezanos Pinto, PhD from the University of Buenos Aires.

The seminar took place in December 2015, at the University Center of the Eastern Region (in Spanish Centro Universitario de la Region Este or CURE) in Maldonado.
