22-23 March 2022, Garching (Munich), Germany

On 22 and 23 March 2022, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) will jointly organise the Hydrology Day 2022 under the motto: “In Transition – Climate, Water and Society Processes – Methods – Communication”

Not least the extreme flood and drought events in Europe, but also the sixth assessment report of the IPCC have clearly shown us that water resources and social action are interdependent and influence each other. Under the guiding theme “Water and Society”, the following scientific questions will be addressed:

• Modelling and prediction of extreme events
• Non-stationary behaviour of hydrological processes
• Water-Food-Energy Nexus

9 March 2022 in Ferghana, Uzbekistan (hybrid event)

A workshop on the assessments and benefits sharing in the context of the Water-Food-Energy-Climate NEXUS in Shakhimardan river basin will be held on March 09, 2022 in Ferghana city. The event is organised by the International Water Management Institute Office for Central Asia (One CGIAR), ‘UZBEKGIDROENERGO’ JSC, and ‘TIIAME’ NRU under  the Hydro4U project in order to discuss with local stakeholders about the importance of understanding the nexus between Water-Energy-Food and Climate with regard to the installation of Small Hydro Power (SHP).

Hydro4U partners will contribute to the workshop with the followig topcis:

Hydro4U project coordinator TUM will be contributing to the Welcome speech.

IWMI will present different approaches to assess and analyse the water-food energy-ecosystems nexus and the experience from their application as well as findings and lessons learned from river basin nexus assessments.

TIIAME NRU will do a presentation on the assessment of the anthropogenic impact of the Shakhimardansoy River on ecosystems within WEFE NEXUS.

Hydro4U project partner hydrosolutions Ltd will present an innovative, fact-based WEF Nexus monitoring system for small hydropower.

The wokshop will also give the opportunity to discuss with local stakeholders about different topics related to the nexus between Water-Energy-Food and Climate with regard to the installation of Small Hydro Power (SHP).

3-4 March 2022, Salzburg, Austria

European meeting point of the hydropower industry

The industry experts meet at the hub between Eastern and Western Europe. The fair shows what contribution hydropower makes to a safe, sustainable, affordable and climate-neutral energy supply. In 2022, Europe’s meeting point for hydropower will again offer a unique platform for knowledge transfer, exchange of experience and new contacts.

Hydro4U project coodinator Technical University of Munich (TUM) will present the project at the event.
