urbAnAquifer

Leaky sewers and the use of chemicals in gardens often pollute urban groundwater without anyone noticing. Countermeasures are being developed and tested in collaboration with citizen scientists and stakeholders.

Improving ecohydrological process understanding during droughts through integrated approaches

The Water Resources Award supports the development of innovative measurement and modelling approaches to improve drought prediction and assessments of water availability. International collaboration and a workshop dedicated to this subject will advance adaptive modelling concepts and lay the foundation for 'water-smart' land use and water resources planning.

IceTMP: Ice cover on lakes of Tibet and Inner Mongolia

The new German-Chinese cooperation project deals with ice-covered lakes of the Tibetan and Mongolian plateaus and their reaction to climate change. The aim is to set up an international research network that will close the gap in knowledge about ice-covered lakes as important but hitherto little-studied components of the hydrological and climatic system.
