Cluster Hydrology 

What repercussions do climate change, anthropogenic interventions and rising water use pressure have on water resources? How is glacier retreat developing and what are its consequences? To what extent are groundwater and therefore water supply influenced and perhaps disrupted? What extreme events such as floods and droughts are to be expected in the future? Which demands regarding future water management result from the various repercussions?
