TUM Celebrates 100 Years of Water Research and Hydropower Innovation
The Technical University of Munich's Versuchsanstalt Obernach marks a century of water research, emphasizing its role in climate impact studies and hydropower. The facility's advancements are crucial for flood protection and sustainable water resource management amid climate change challenges.

The Versuchsanstalt Obernach at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has focused on water research since its inception in 1926, contributing significantly to hydropower, which currently accounts for up to 12% of Bavaria's renewable energy. The facility plays a vital role in addressing climate impacts, with ongoing efforts to enhance flood protection and infrastructure resilience.
Notable figures such as Oskar von Miller, the initiator of the institute, laid the foundation for hydropower development in Bavaria. The center continues to bridge science and practical solutions, aiming for sustainable water resource management as climate challenges intensify.
