With around 20 researchers, inwa develops practical solutions for businesses, industry, and municipalities to address climate challenges.
Water Infrastructure and Digitalization (DiWa)
The research group "Water Infrastructure and Digitalization (DiWa)" was founded in 2020 and consists of nine researchers with interdisciplinary backgrounds. Their work focuses on sponge city/region, dynamic sewer network management, substance retention at overflow points, solutions for the 4th treatment stage, use of renewable energies, efficiency improvement through digitalization, meta-studies on digitalization, digitalization of operational knowledge, and generative AI in knowledge transfer. DiWa develops methods and solutions in three areas of work:
More InformationSustainability and Project Management in Water Management (NaPro)
The interdisciplinary team of the research group "Sustainability and Project Management in Water Management" is dedicated to researching innovative approaches and developing effective project management methods for the water sector. We combine scientific findings with practice-oriented project management methods to develop solutions that consider ecological, economic, and social aspects. Through cooperation with institutions, companies, and associations, we promote knowledge exchange and lay the foundation for a sustainable water management.
