Drinking water supplies from surface waters require sustainable solutions which reconcile demands for environmental protection and social and economic development. With the goal of providing such solutions, the project GETAS is funded by the Bundesforschungsministerium (Federal Ministry of Research and Technology). GETAS combines aspects of hydrobiology, lake physics, meteorology / climatology and water management to develop a new management tool which, utilising a user friendly model interface, provides scientific advise for reservoir operating agencies and authorities.
