A new database of hydrological and environmental metadata launched
High quality field data are crucial to success in the hydrological and environmental research. As such monitoring is often expensive and time consuming, it is convenient to share such data among research institutions. However, to facilitate the sharing, one must know the “who, where, and what”. That is why the hydrologists from the Institute of […]
Combating land degradation and soil erosion in Ethiopia
A few days ago, hydrologists from the Institute of Hydrodynamics returned from the Sidama region in Ethiopia, where they began work on a multi-year project in cooperation with the Czech Development Agency, People in Need and All for Soil. Every rainy season, this densely populated region loses large areas of fertile land and human dwellings, […]
