The Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics Group aims to advance fundamental understanding and prediction of hydrological processes in river basins, aquifers, and deltas in support of water management

Welcome to the Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics (HEH) Group at Wageningen University!

At HEH, we are rigorously engaged in deciphering the complex behavior of water in our world. Our mission remains steadfast: we are dedicated to advancing the fundamental understanding and prediction of hydrological processes in river basins, aquifers, and deltas to support critically needed water management solutions.

“The urgency of our research cannot be overstated. In a world grappling with the consequences of climate change, adaptation and effective water management have become paramount. The current problems we face as a society, from extreme weather events to dwindling water resources, underscore the vital importance of our work. We are at a critical juncture, and our research is more relevant than ever”.
