Urban hydrology and water quality

Climate change and population growth in cities increases the risk of floodings, soil and water pollution.

Our models allow to calculate the impact of climate scenarios or the effect of measures to reduce the flooding risks in an urban context. Our expertise enables the assessment of pollution on soil and water quality in urban environments.

Themes

Water quality is one of the biggest challenges in densely populated areas. Diffuse pollution with nutrients and pesticides in agricultural land is a continuing concern.

Climate change results in increased risks for drought and water scarcity. Adaptation strategies and measures to reduce the impact are needed.
