• Hydrology is the science of water – one of the most important foundations of life for humankind and nature. Since the demand for water is on the rise throughout the world, availability, distribution, and the quality of water are topics of great national and international relevance in the 21st century.
  • Hydrology focuses especially on the spatial and temporal distribution of water with regard to its amount and quality, both above and under the ground. Current topics of hydrological research include the impact of changes in climate, environmental conditions, and social economics on the water cycle.
