Company Profile

FLUVIUS is the label for our international consultancy in the field of Floodplain Ecology and River Basin Management. The firm holds a business licence for "Consultant Engineers in the field of Geographie" in Austria.

From the landscape ecological perspective, the base sciences to understand floodplain, wetland and river ecosystems with their catchment are hydrology, fluvial-morphology, pedology and geo-botany. For the planning aspects and the river basin management, engineering science such as water management and river hydraulics, spatial planning and nature conservation are from great importance. Remote sensing applications and GIS technologies support surveys, field evaluations and the most processing and analysis operations. In this sense Geographical Information Systems are the main tool to facilitate interdisciplinary work. Next to the technical application of such a system the collaboration and integration of the different sciences and stakeholders is a key need and is offered particularly by our company. Since 1995, we could build up experience by working in Central and Eastern Europe (next to Germany and Austria in Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Albania). Today we are usually working in international teams, commissioned by international clients (e.g. EU, UNDP, World Bank/GEF).
