Motivation of the Research Group:
To develop strategies that will result in sustainable development of rivers, and ensure reliable supply of fresh water meeting current and future demands. Ensuring reliable and sustainable supply of fresh water in consideration of anticipated climate change, by: minimizing environmental impacts, considering historical events of river flow variability and storage, and understanding the phenomena of sediment dynamics, flow dynamics and behaviour of the individual hydraulic particle movement to predict the mass balance.
