Hydrogeology / Water Resources Management
The project group Hydrogeology & Water Resources Management is dedicated to effects of land use and climate changes on water and material balances. Another scope are river basin management problems in post-mining landscapes due to implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive. We are further committed to questions and model couplings on the effects of floods on groundwater in urban areas.
Current Research Projects
| Innovative composts in agroforestry systems as a combined land use measure for the prevention of nitrogen emissions | |
| EU Life Demine | Reducing the environmental impact of abandoned mines on water bodies |
