Water Infrastructure and Risk Analyses
Water management is facing major challenges worldwide: dated infrastructures of limited flexibility are jeopardising efficiency and sustainability. Furthermore, increasing levels of critical substances are being measured in our ground- and drinking water. ISOE comes up with innovative concepts of how to sustainably reconstruct infrastructures and adapt them to changing circumstances. We also develop methods of weighing up complex risks and devise strategies to minimise them. It is our aim to generate knowledge which is relevant for stakeholders working towards integrated water management.
