National Research Programme "Sustainable water management" (NRP 61)


How is the flood hazard in the Alps evolving?  

In future, floods will occur more frequently and will be more severe. Especially with regards to mountain streams, the question is how long the underground can store the water. The relationship between precipitation volumes, storage capacity of the catchments and runoff will be examined, so that well mapped-out measures can be taken.

Dr. Felix Naef presents the research work carried out in the scope of the project.
