The results of the project "Monitorización de la pandemia de COVID-19 en el entorno universitario a través del análisis de las aguas residuales" (COVID\_WATER UJI) [Monitoring of the COVID-19 pandemic in the university environment through the analysis of wastewater] have confirmed that the analysis of wastewater has allowed to know at an early stage the incidence of the disease before confirming the positive cases and, at the same time, "to monitor how long the virus is present, which makes it easier to know, for example, if there are asymptomatic cases", according to those responsible for the study, the researchers Rosa de Llanos of the Predepartamental Unit of Medicine of the UJI and Lubertus Bijlsma of the University Institute of Pesticides and Water Resources (IUPA).  
  
The main objective of the project, which started at the end of October 2020 and is due to end on 31 July 2021, was to detect and quantify the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater collected from selected buildings and sample points on the Riu Sec university campus.
