Practical relevance by support of lecturers The practical relevance of the courses at the Institute is achieved

through dedicated support by senior executives from the field

of water management. They introduce different topics and

focus on current aspects in Hydraulic Engineering and Water

Resource Management.

Engineering facilities of the Institute

The laboratories at the Institute of Hydraulic

Engineering and Water Resources Management

allow hydraulic model tests for a number of

tasks in the field of hydraulic engineering.

Among others, the facilities include an ex-

perimental hall (420 m2), a water cycle of

250 m2 surface area, a flow structure of 20 me-

ter length, three meter width and a maximum

depth of one meter. In addition, a tilting runner and a

piping test rig are available. The existing laboratories are

available for both research and services rendered to in-

dustry for testing on national and international level.

Laboratories at UDE

In a laboratory co-operation within the Civil Engineering

Division at the UDE, the laboratories of the Institute work

together with the laboratories of the Department of

Geotechnical Engineering (Prof. Dr.-Ing. E. Perau) and the

Department of Urban Water and Waste Management

(Prof. Dr.-Ing. R. Widmann). For the different Departments

this co-operation results in a more efficient overarching

access to high quality laboratory analysis methods with

regard to water relevant issues in the field of hydraulic

engineering, geotechnical engineering and water quality.

Research activities Urban water

Hydromorphology and morphodynamics

Scientific control of river rehabilitation measures

Ecological consistency and fish migration concepts

Water quality management

Water quality modeling and mass flow balancing

Implementation of the Water Framework Directive

Socioeconomics of water management actions

Flood control and risk management
