2018
| Project: "Sustainable use of water and soil resources in irrigated agriculture in Chile - AgriH2O-CE“ The goal of the proposed research project is to explore the potential of ecologically sustainable farming in Chile, including the impact of the extension of such practices with respect to conventional farming on water resources and soils in Central Chile. In...more |

| Project: IFAT 2018 - Sound and reliable water transport during supply and disposal Urban water management poses a huge challenge for countries, municipalities, authorities, cities and the population. That implies, one deal always with a network of a complex course of actions, which requires the cooperation between science and practice...more |
2017
| Project: Holistic Water Quality Management in Latin America A number of countries in Latin America suffer from the consequences of insufficient controlled urbanization, inadequate measures in the management of river basin districts, which are expressed in water pollution. Old and new water pollution caused by nutrients, excessive nitrogen surplus, loads by priority substances and micro-pollutants, coupled with the rapid proliferation of urban areas, and the planning of drainage infrastructure that cannot keep abreast with this development lead to...more |
|
| Project: BSCALE: Downscaling of precipitation: development, calibration and validation of a probabilisitc Bayesian approach Downscaling of atmospheric model output is necessary to map variables from low-resolution spatial scales of observation or model prediction down to local scales, at which variables are needed for a wide range of applications, including data gap filling, hydrological...more |

Project: "Precipitation patterns, snow and glacier response in High Mountain Asia and their variability on sub-decadal time scales - prime-HYD" |
2016
| Project: "Extreme Precipitation - Holistic-oriented risk management in Latin America" A number of countries in Latin America suffer from the consequences of inadequately controlled urbanization, inadequate measures in the management of river basin districts, and the effects of climate change. Rising precipitation intensities coupled with a rapid spread of urban areas and a drainage infrastructure design that can not keep up with this development will lead to damage...more |
