Learning from real-world water management in action
Matthias Zessner and Julia Derx spent two inspiring days with our Environmental Engineering students exploring Austria’s water infrastructure.

• Fish pass Altenwörth – Roland Schmalfuß and Hannes Einfalt (VERBUND) showed us how fish migration corridors can restore river ecosystems
• Wastewater treatment plant Stoderertal – Werner Hackl gave us a fascinating look inside this unique plant entirely built inside a mountain cave
• Wiener Wasser facilities near Wildalpen – Christian Maslo walked us through the source protection and infrastructure securing high-quality drinking water for Vienna.

A big thank you to our expert guides for demonstrating how theory meets practice.
