Technical University of Dresden
Faculty of environmental sciences
In basic and applied research, the branch of water management deals with water in natural and technical systems and the related materials cycles in an interdisciplinary way. Based on the understanding of the mechanisms of action of anthropogenic impacts on the environment, concepts for the efficient protection of resources and the sustainable use of water and water bodies are developed. Engineering and natural sciences jointly develop models to improve the predictability of dynamic processes and their interrelation with biosphere and hydrosphere.
