Center for Advanced Water Research
Since October 2013 the "Center for Advanced Water Research (CAWR)" brings together the water competences of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ and the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD). The highly qualified scientists are jointly tackling some of the key challenges in the water sector in a breadth of research topics that is outstanding and at the same time with a profound disciplinary expertise.
Safe Water for Humans and Environment
Water in a good quality and adequate quantity is a fundamental basis of life for humankind and the environment. In many global challenges, such as food or energy security, human health and ecosystems, flood defence and droughts or the provision of drinking water and sanitation systems, water is becoming a very critical element for a sustainable society in Germany, in Europe and worldwide.
This integrative partnership uses the synergies of interdisciplinary and cross-institutional collaboration, resulting in advanced top level research on key challenges related to water resources. This serves as a basis for a research-oriented education and training as well as a scientifically based policy advice. In cooperation with stakeholders and partners from industry the scientists of the CAWR are working together for the development and implementation of innovative technologies and concepts for a sustainable water resources management - in present and future.
