Panayiotis Charalambous

My name is Panayiotis and I work in the field of education and I have a particular interest in natural sciences, my specialty is water sanitation. This has everything to do with the quality of water and its application in farming, cities, habitat preservation, etc. So if you have a surface water body or an underground water reservoir or a river delta or the edges of the sea crossing with the shoreline and you have an aquatic issue, I can most probably discuss something about it.
