Dr. Edson Wendland is a Professor at the Department of Hydraulics and Sanitary Engineering (Engineering School of São Carlos at the University of São Paulo, Brazil) since 2001. He holds a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS, Brazil) and a Dr.-Ing. (PhD) in Civil Engineering from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany). From 1996 to 1999 he was Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Geology (Ruhr-Universität Bochum). From 1999 to 2001 he developed research in the field of Petroleum Engineering at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil) and from 2013 to 2014 he developed research at the University of Minnesota in the field of Groundwater Resources. His research focus mainly: 1) water resources evaluation based on continuous monitoring of hydrogeological data at watershed scale; 2) computational simulation of groundwater flow and solute transport in fractured porous media; 3) development of advanced numerical schemes based on the finite element and analytic element method. Prior to his academic activities, he worked with Zerna, Schulz & Partner (Bochum, Germany) in Civil Engineering projects (buildings, tunnels, railways) and DMT Deutsche Montan Technologie (Essen, Germany) in environmental projects (groundwater modeling, Geographical Information System).

The demand for water in Brazil has been growing continuously over the years, with emphasis on urban supply, industry and, mainly, irrigated agriculture. In this context, groundwater sources are considered a good alternative for water supply, as they are less susceptible to contamination and climatic variations when compared to surface sources. However, if the exploitation of groundwater i…
The use of remotely sensed data has brought unforeseen advances to researches in water resources and agriculture. Despite the remarkable improvements of satellite sensors, more recent suborbital remote sensing technologies have provided land surface imaging with high spatio-temporal resolution. In this context, this proposal intends to bring new insights in terms of hydrologic monitoring …

Based on the growing food and energy demand and the high environmental changes resulting from the conversion of natural environments into agriculture land, researches are essential to understand how anthropogenic changes, through land-use change and land cover, affect the hydrological processes. Understanding the infiltration and runoff processes is an important step for the development o…
Extreme climate events are of great importance in hydrological studies, such as in the design of hydraulic structures and the management of water resources. An accurate characterization of these events is essential for society, seeking to avoid the impact of it on several natural and socioeconomic systems. In the current context of climate change, with frequent changes in climatic dynamic…
Similarly to most developing countries, Brazil faces several challenges regarding the inadequate management of solid waste. In Brazil, since the approval of the Law 12305/2010, the Solid Waste National Policy has been instituted, with the establishment of goals for the closure of dumpsites. Nevertheless, the majority of Brazilian cities did not conclude their management plans and the situ…
The physicochemical and microbiological evaluation of areas impacted by waste deposits is essential for the understanding of the involved attenuation and transport processes, contributing to the prevision of the necessity of intervention measures, as well as for the verification of their effectiveness. In Brasil and in tropical and subtropical conditions, studies concerning the characteri…

An accurate understanding of extreme events and how they will intensify in a climate change context is essential for engineering practices, such as water resources management and designing of hydraulic systems. Despite the importance of these studies, they are still not widespread in the Brazil. In this context, this research internship seeks to advance the characterization of extreme eve…

The Guarani Aquifer System (SAG, in Portugese) is an important groundwater reserve. In Brazil, it is estimated that 1,443 municipalities are located in the area of the SAG (BORGHETTI et al., 2004), constituting an area of great economic importance and presenting various uses such as urban, industrial and rural. The Ribeirão da Onça watershed is located in the outcrop area of the Guarani A…
The land use change of the Cerrado cause modification in water balance and soil erosion intensification, producing adverse effects on soil and water. Thus, it is essential to study the components of water balance and soil erosion in Cerrado biome, for assessment of current conditions in the face of changing land use. In this project, we intend to calculate the components of water balance …
