Common roots
At the beginning, the institute covered the subjects of hydraulic engineering, hydromechanics, hydraulics and hydrology. In the early 2000s, hydromechanics moved to mechanical engineering. In the context, the two areas “Hydraulic Engineering and Hydraulics” and “Hydrology and Water Resources Management” formed independent disciplines, which today operate under the umbrella of the joint Institute of Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering.
Today, the institute is headed by Prof. Boris Lehmann as chair in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering and Hydraulics and by Prof. Britta Schmalz, who is head of the Department of Engineering Hydrology and Water Resources Management.
