The SHR board would like to thank you for an inspiring day, filled with old and new colleagues at various career stages!
The 2025 Hydrologidagarna oral presentation program offered a broad and insightful overview of current research, innovation, and practice within Swedish and international hydrology. The day began with a welcome session followed by a series of presentations covering hydrological forecasting, Sweden’s water balance, and climate indicators based on long-term observations.
Several keynote speakers highlighted major challenges and advancements in the field. Topics included collaborative policy development for water management, the evolution of hydrological models, and strategies for dealing with unprecedented floods and droughts.
Throughout the day, presenters from universities, government agencies, and industry showcased diverse applications of hydrological science—from citizen science tools and simple water sensors in wetlands to forecast-controlled stormwater ponds, GNSS-based rainfall prediction, and the analysis of disaster impact databases.
Further sessions explored the importance of trees to the boreal water balance, the calibration of stormwater models using citizen images, and the role of advanced technologies, such as Interferometric SAR, in assessing hydrological connectivity. Additional talks addressed microgeochemical fingerprinting, long-term impacts of peatland rewetting on methylmercury, and the multifunctionality of wetlands.
The program included two poster sessions, providing additional opportunities for discussion and networking.
