Co-creating water knowledge (Part 1): The history and future of an interdisciplinary working group

HELPING and the co-creation of a working group In 2023, the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), inaugurated a new Scientific Decade, called HELPING – IAHS Science for Solutions decade, with Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world. This third decade was established through  a bottom-up process, by investigating the interests and the urgency of  local hydrolo ...[Read More]

Hydrological change is one of the clearest signals of climate variability and human impact on the environment. Yet detecting these changes reliably requires robust, long-term data from river basins that are as close to “natural” as possible, with little influence from dams, abstractions, land use change or any other human influences. That’s where the ROBIN project comes in.  ROBIN, or the Referenc ...[Read More]

Where The River Feeds The Wells: A Story Of Smart Monitoring For Safe Drinking Water Supply

When a river becomes your drinking water  When you open the tap in Tarnów, a charming city in southern Poland with a history dating back to the Middle Ages, chances are that most of the water you are about to drink once flowed in the nearby Dunajec River. Yet between the river and your glass lies an invisible world: a network of sand and gravel that filters, delays, and transforms the river’s wate ...[Read More]

HydroTalks Podcast: Professor Li Li on data and models, water chemistry, climate change and science communication

Welcome to HydroTalks, the EGU HS division’s podcast series. In this episode, we interviewed Prof. Li Li (Li Li – Penn State), leader of the Li Reactive Water group at Penn State University. We talked about her research on using data and models for hydro-biogeochemical processes, river water quality, climate change, and research communication. Her research sits at the intersection of h ...[Read More]
