The Danish students above tested water quality of coastal watersheds for the impact of detergents on drinking water supplies while also examining the use of zeolites for water softening.

While many of the talks and lectures addressed general water concerns, there were also specific and detailed presentations, including the poster displays exhibited by the young finalists who came to participate in the Stockholm Junior Water Prize from Australia, Argentina, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Span, Sweden, Thailand and the United States.

Many of the posters describe particular water quality monitoring projects that the students had been involved with on local waterways. Others are about inventions or innovations developed by the students, such as the device constructed and tests by the students from Mexico that would allow at a household level the removal of arsenic from polluted groundwater.
