URBAN HYDRAULICS AND WATER TREATMENT (IMFS-HU)
The Urban Hydraulics research team, at the Institute of Fluid and Solid Mechanics (IMFS-HU) focuses on the flow of charged fluids and the associated rheology.
Its approach is principallycentred on modelling, experimentation and computational simulation of fluids in interaction with their environment. The research developed in the team focuses on some of the main industry issues, often including an environmental dimension: fluid mechanics in real situations, in relation to applications based on energy transfers, hydraulic networks and the treatment of urban waste water.
SURFACE WATER AND SPATIAL PLANNING (LHYGES)
The Hydrology and Geochemistry laboratory of Strasbourg (LHyGeS) works on our understanding of how continental hydrosystems functionand develop.
It includes several teams which work on:
- study subjects: continental hydrosystems suchas catchment areas and undergroundwater reservoirs
- their specific fields of expertise: ecology,geochemistry, hydrology, mathematical andcomputational modelling, etc.
- a resolutely quantitative approach based ona mechanistic approach combining geosciences,environmental sciences and engineeringsciences
SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF WATER MANAGEMENT (GESTE)
The Public Utilities Management laboratory (GESTE), based at ENGEES, comprises a multidisciplinary team (economy, management andsociology).
It develops activities directed at the integrated management of water utilities, from the preservation of the resource upstream, to the participation of users to public policy.
Centred on managing both the resource and demand, this issue is dealt with on three different levels:
- the user
- the utility, i.e. the organising authority andpublic or private operators which work for it.
- the territory, as a range of actors that mustbe coordinated.
