Water | Science | Future!

Committed to making every day World ater Day
This year's World Water Day is all about accelerating change. At KWB, we've been at the forefront of this change for years, and we're not slowing down anytime soon! Here you can learn more about it.
Resilience in the Smart City
How crisis-proof and adaptable are our cities and regions? How can digital solutions help municipalities better adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions? Find out more about our new publication "Resilience in the Smart City," which we co-authored with the German Institute of Urban Affairs (Difu) as part of the accompanying research for the Smart City model projects.

It's all about the people!
KWB is its people! We took new portraits of our staff, which can now be viewed on our team page. Our new slideshow on the GeoSalz project shows what our employees look like at work. And since not everything can always be about work, we have also photographed our last team event.

Thought Leader
Against the background of critical challenges and questions about the future of climate change, water crises, digitalisation, coupling sectors, urbanisation and the Smart City, KWB is developing innovative knowledge through committed, practical research. Our work is grounded in science, highly innovative, at times even uncomfortable, but the relevancy and urgency of it should never be underestimated.
Honest Broker
Over the last 20 years, KWB has worked closely and productively with numerous national and international partners from the fields of science, economics and the government. We have commitments in networks both within the water sector and far beyond it, too. We connect loose ends and we network amongst key players, stakeholders and relevant organisations. With our expertise and ideas, we facilitate vibrant exchanges as well as innovative changes.
Driver of Change
KWB conveys valuable knowledge. This is a process in which we communicate far beyond any exclusive circle of experts. Our work is of great value to society. That’s why we don’t just share our knowledge with our various stakeholders, but also with the broadly interested public. The knowledge which we convey becomes the basis for informed decisions and thus helps bring about positive changes. It also flows into the development of practical services and innovative products.
