Projects

Hydrological modelling system PANTA RHEI

  • Continuous development of the modelling system in cooperation with IfW GmbH since 2005

  • Applications in the field of planning models, climate scenarios, flood forecasting

  • Application in student education

EAGruMo - Ernst-August-Stoll mine monitoring

  • The possibilities for the water management use of the most important water solution tunnel in the Upper Harz (Ernst-August-Stollen EAS) are to be examined with a combination of an innovative monitoring and exploration concept with new coupled modelling approaches within the first 5 km of the tunnel.

  • LWI will further develop and carry out the hydrological modelling.

KLIBIW - Global Climate Change - Water management Impact assessment for Inland Areas

  • Simulation of climate scenarios 1970-2100 with the water balance model PANTA RHEI for 7 large river basins in Lower Saxony

  • Further development of the modelling software and model applications for coupling with groundwater models and consideration of groundwater abstractions and water discharges

EWAZ-Transfer - Network of energy and water systems in the western Harz mountains for climate protection (applied for)

  • Continuation of the content-related work of the EWAZ project. Technology transfer project for the economic provision of municipal livelihoods through sustainable system services in the field of flood protection, resource security and regenerative energy storage (EWAZ-Transfer)

  • The aim of the completed EWAZ project was to develop an ‘Energy and Water Storage Harz’ system that fulfils future supra-regional requirements in the target dimensions of energy generation and storage, flood protection, drinking water production and low water discharge.

  • The EWAZ-Transfer project is intended to utilise the findings of the EWAZ project with a view to implementation and prepare possible applications.

NassMoor - Water for peatland rewetting of raised bogs under climate change (applied for)

  • Hydrological simulation of raised bog sites to determine resilience to climate change

  • Further development of modelling software and model applications for the special hydrological and hydraulic properties of raised bog sites

Teaching
  • GIS applications in river basin management
