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).

This project aims to advance the current knowledge of Brazilian water security, paving the way for a better understanding of climate and human impacts on water availability in the country. The project encompasses both local and country-wise studies of different environmental scientific subjects on the intertwined connection between hydrological processes, society, climate and land use. Th…
Integrated water availability is of paramount importance for maintaining agricultural activities. The University of São Paulo (USP), through the São Carlos School of Engineering (EESC), conducts relevant work in water security and the role of groundwater. Meanwhile, Lund University (LU) in Sweden has extensive experience in water resources and modeling, offering solutions relevant to agri…
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 Sao Carlos School of Engineering (EESC-USP) currently has 9 Departments: Hydraulic and Sanitation Engineering, Structural Engineering (Civil), Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Transport Engineering, Production Engineering, Materials Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering and the Geotechnics department; with 5 Centers: CETEPE - Center for Educational Technology for Engine…

This project studies potential evapotranspiration (PET) and its relevance in the context of climate change, as it is essential for agricultural planning, climate modeling, and water resource management. However, Brazil lacks a comprehensive database that incorporates recent projections in the context of climate change.The project's objective is to build a national PET database using CMIP6…
Climate change is a global environmental challenge that affects the earth system in terms of negative impacts on food production, water supply, health, livelihoods and energy. Assessing the impact of climate change is crucial to depict the vulnerability of water resources and to identify adaptation measures that can be implemented to enhance resilience and the capacity to respond to extre…
This project aims to study the potential changes in aridity in Brazil under the current scenario of global climate change. The concept of aridity refers to the water availability necessary to sustain life in terrestrial environments, and this concept is influenced by the balance between the demand and supply of water in the atmosphere. The trend of increasing aridity in various regions of…

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…
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…
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…

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…
Based on the growing food and energy demand and the high environmental changes resulting from the conversion of natural environments into agricultural areas, are fundamental the development of research that seeks to understand how anthropogenic changes, through the change in land use and land cover, affect the hydrological processes. Understanding the infiltration and runoff processes is …
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…
