Hydrology and Water Resources

Research by Wouter Buytaert and co-workers

Our research focuses on sustainable water resources management. We deal with the entire toolchain from data collection, process understanding, simulation and prediction, to decision-support. Some applications include assessing and predicting the impact of climate change and land-use changes on water resources, quantifying ecosystem services, developing integrated hydro-ecological simulation systems, and uncertainty analysis.

We work predominantly in tropical regions such as the South-American Andes (Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile), the African rift (Ethiopia), and the Ganges basin of India and Bangladesh. However, we are also involved in projects in the UK and Europe. We work extensively with universities in all continents (well, except Antartica), as well as policy institutes, governments, NGO's and local stakeholders.
