About

The main goal of the Water and Environmental Engineering Group (GEAMA, University of A Coruña) is to generate new knowledge in the field of water resources management, in order to achieve a more efficient and sustainable use of water by the society. Some of the topics in which we currently work are: - Forecast and management of flood risk - Monitoring and management of reservoirs and lakes - Design of port infraestructures and management of port operations - Design and management of sustainable urban drainage systems - Wastewater treatment and water quality in rivers - Impact of climate change on water resources Our work is funded by public research projects as well as by private companies, with which we work in close collaboration. We also work regularly with water management administrations and with non-governmental organizations. The members of our group are involved in undergraduate and postgraduate education in water resources, and we regularly organise seminars and specialized training courses aimed at professionals of the water sector.
