Transboundary Water Cooperation in the Lower Mekong Basin
Dr. Hubert Lohr joins the GIZ project Transboundary Water Cooperation in the Lower Mekong Basin as key hydrology expert. ICEM (International Centre for Environmental Management) will carry out this project, which, after Georgia/Azerbaijan, Eastern Nile and Equatorial Nile, is another building block in transboundary water management in which experts from SYDRO are involved in.

Our colleagues from HYDROC have successfully implemented real-time simulations of rainfall-runoff and streamflow in South Sudan waterways using Talsim-NG as a model. It uses near real-time precipitation data from the Global Forecasting System GFS and with 546 modeled river reaches with a total length of 2700 km, covers a large part of the Baro-Akobo-Sobat river […]

As part of the project “Digitization, Modeling and Visualization of the Danube Water System”, Sydro Consult is working on a precipitation runoff model for Arcadis Germany for the largest fenland in southern Germany, the Danube Moss. The fenland does not only hold flood protection functions, but it also acts as a carbon sink, as well […]
