We are looking for a doctoral candidate (project assistant, pre-doc) for research work in the project "Hydrology Weinviertel".

On May 28, 2025, the Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management organized a field day for 72 master's students at the Hydrological Open Air Laboratory (HOAL) in Petzenkirchen.

Hydrological parameters have been recorded in the HOAL - the Hydrological Open-Air Laboratory - since the end of the Second World War. Since 2010, these measurements have been intensified and sensors have been installed at many points in the catchment area. In order to be able to precisely determine…

Since the old erosion measurement weir at monitoring site E1 had become somewhat outdated, it was high time to install a new one.
On March 18, 2025, a new H-flume made of stainless steel was successfully installed. It is intended to help determine the amount of eroded material being transported by…

The collaboration between the Federal Agency for Water Management and the Technical University Vienna has two new contributors: Dušan Marjanović and Christopher Thoma started the work towards their doctoral degree in the HOAL 2.0 project.

Essential parts of the HOAL monitoring system were repaired or implemented to ensure a continued generation of hydrological data.

Preventing or reducing erosion processes is an important factor in being able to use arable land in the long term and at the same time maintaining soil quality.

Therefore, two greened flowpaths were created in the HOAL Petzenkirchen. These should fulfill several functions. This greened flowpaths…

The use of drones for the recording of soil erosion is one of the most suitable technologies for capturing soil erosion. It allows for the quick, precise, and cost-effective assessment of the surface and its structure. Through the use of drones in combination with specialized software programs, data…
