CEO of the Institute for Technical and Scientific Hydrology Ltd. | Hannover | Germany

Where others simply see rain as water falling from the sky, Lothar Fuchs sees numerous possibilities. In his position as CEO of the Institute for Technical and Scientific Hydrology, he develops sustainable solutions for rainwater and receiving waters, as well as integrated solutions for the urban water cycle. Currently, Lothar focuses on the topic of flooding in cities and works on a plan for a swamp city in China. One of the main goals of the project is to improve the quality of inner-city waters and to ultimately create a more liveable place for the people living in the city.
