This programme aims to examine:
- how pollutants enter, transform and interact within rivers, and the ecosystems that rivers support
- how the infiltration and movement of pollutants will be amplified or mitigated by a changing hydrological cycle induced by climate change
- strategies for improving or sustaining the quality of rivers across the UK.

This programme aims to bring together UK and Southeast Asian researchers to work collaboratively on:
- increasing understanding of both behaviour and impacts of plastics in marine ecosystems
- the risks to the essential services these ecosystems provide.
