Institute of Hydrology and Watermanagement
Mission Statement
'Water is the origin of everything'. This quote from the Greek philosopher Thales of Milet (624-546 A.D.) is still valid in our times. Various human activities affect the water cycle, and adverse environmental impacts have to be facted. The main objectives of the institute are the analysis of interrelationship between water and the environment, the assessment of human induced environmental impact and the development of water management strategies harmonizing economic and ecological requirements.
