Urban and River Hydrology and Hydraulics

  Overview

The research on Urban and River Hydrology and Hydraulics covers all aspects of the water cycle in the urban environment as well as in river systems. The research topics are hereafter classified in "Rainfall", "River hydrology and hydraulics", "Urban hydrology and hydraulics", and "Hydrometry". The main focus is on modelling of extreme conditions along rivers and urban drainage systems (e.g. floods, low flows) combining physically-based hydrologic and hydrodynamic modelling with statistical analysis and including uncertainty analysis.
