From natural streams to urban consumption: Water distribution networks and their strong environmental footprint in a changing climate
Water distribution networks play a crucial role in ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water. However, they can also have significant environmental impacts, especially in the context of a changing climate. To minimize their environmental footprint, it’s important to adopt sustainable practices by implementing energy-efficient technologies. Freshwater availability: a worsening crisis ...[Read More]
Where should hydrology go?
In 1965, UNESCO launched the first International Hydrological Decade to promote hydrology as an independent scientific discipline. This initiative has since grown into a global movement boosting hydrological research around a changing theme: the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) Scientific Decades. The last two decades have shown that community efforts can shape the field o ...[Read More]
Hydrology and UNESCO: from science to practice and policy
Water is the essence of the career of many researchers working in hydrology across the five systems of Earth (geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere). When you step into a ‘career journey’ in hydrological sciences, you just love water and anything related to it. It can range from analysing water samples from headwater catchments in the tropical Andes to building a deep learn ...[Read More]
