A short history 
In the first decades the conference was called ConSoil and was strongly focused on contaminated soils. In the last decade, the scope broadened and since the Barcelona conference in 2013, the conference is called AquaConSoil. The name change represents the necessary systems-thinking for sustainable use and management of soil, water and sediments.

Scope

In addition to dealing with contaminated soil, water and land, topics are programmed on the link between the soil-sediment-water-system and social challenges and goals (e.g. the sustainable development goals of the UN); “land stewardship”; the use of ecosystem services; circular economy; digital opportunities; and the link with social, financial, legal and policy aspects.
