The structural division of research in the field of water engineering and water management with the associated subject of surveying and geoinformatics is divided into three main research areas: flood risk management, data collection and visualization, and international water management projects.

The knowledge available in the field in the areas of GIS, geoinformatics, remote sensing, and geophysics offers a great potential for application to "traditional" questions. The possibilities of these technologies, especially in the practice of water management, should be explored in their breadth.
