Drought and Water Scarcity

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

Our hydrology experts have the expertise to design management scenarios to adapt to or reduce the impact of these risks. The design is built on water system knowledge and modeling tools for soil, groundwater and surface water.

Thematic challenges

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.

Groundwater is a valuable water resource and is increasingly put under stress due to drought and pollution.

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