The Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory at the Technical University of Crete, focuses on the study and research of water resources management, extreme hydrological events, and the impacts of climate change on hydrological systems. Our lab develops advanced hydrological models and techniques for forecasting hydrological phenomena, contributing to sustainable water management in water-stressed regions, particularly in the Mediterranean basin.
Using state-of-the-art computational systems, we analyze and process measurements and satellite observations, and we evaluate and improve hydrological models. These systems also enable us to accurately predict extreme hydrological events and develop strategies to respond and adapt to climate change.
Where and when do extreme hydrological events occur? How do they impact water resources? How effective are the measures taken to manage these impacts? At the Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory, we generate science-based knowledge to support decision-making in the face of environmental and social challenges posed by climate change and water resource management.
