organisation profile

The group ‘Water Management’ examines the water levels of navigable rivers. Our primary objective is to manage water volumes as efficiently as possible. Too much or too little water can cause serious problems for citizens, the navigation and the industry. Through thorough research we can predict critical situations and formulate appropriate measures.

The Hydrological Information Centre carries out the operational activities of the group ‘Water Management’. This team is responsible for field measurements. They collect and process data on precipitation, water levels, flow rates and the amount of sediment in the water. Based upon this information we can forecast how these levels will change each day and inform the public about crucial situations.
