German Hydrological Society (DHG)

The Deutsche Hydrologische Gesellschaft e.V. (DHG) — the German Hydrological Society — is an independent, non-profit professional association that represents hydrologists and water managers working in both scientific research and operational practice. According to its own self-description, the society is "independent and carried by its members" and sees itself as the professional representation of hydrologists and water-management specialists. It was founded in 2011 and is registered as a non-profit association (eingetragener Verein, e.V.) under German law. The DHG's stated purpose is the promotion of hydrology and water management in research, teaching and practice. It works to support the exchange of experience and information between science and professional practice, to promote early-career scientists, and to strengthen scientific networking. To that end it regularly supports scientific conferences, specialist workshops and continuing-education events, initiates its own specialist events, and offers a discussion platform for new research priorities. Beyond events, the society runs a set of community programmes. It awards field scholarships (Feldstipendien), organises a mentoring programme, and maintains a network of young hydrologists. It recognises outstanding commitment in the hydrological community and specialist achievement through the Deutscher Hydrologiepreis (German Hydrology Prize) as well as dissertation and poster prizes. Its website also serves as a hub for current information on events, funding, awards and networking opportunities across the hydrological community. A distinctive part of the DHG is its Netzwerk junger Hydrolog/-innen (Network of Young Hydrologists), a group of prospective and early-career scientists organised from within the society. It offers students and Early Career Scientists (ECS) a platform for networking, exchange and discussion regardless of their disciplinary background — hydrology, environmental science, geoscience, engineering, forestry and related fields — and supports them in planning activities and events. Membership in the network is free of charge; those wishing to join can request admission to the mailing list informally by email. The organisational core is the DHG working group "Netzwerk junger Hydrolog/-innen", which is open to all interested parties. The DHG is a comparatively young society, founded in 2011, and operates primarily in the German-language hydrological and water-management community. It is a membership-based, non-commercial organisation rather than a commercial enterprise: its "offerings" are professional services to the community — conferences, workshops, scholarships, prizes, mentoring and networking — rather than products sold on a market. Its public identity is built around the DHG name and the Deutscher Hydrologiepreis, and it maintains a web presence at dhydrog.de.

The Deutsche Hydrologische Gesellschaft e.V. (DHG) was founded in 2011 as an independent, non-profit professional society for hydrologists and water managers. From its inception it defined itself as a member-supported body rather than a state agency or commercial organisation, describing itself as "independent and carried by its members" and as the professional representation of hydrologists and water-management specialists active in both science and operational practice. Its founding purpose was to promote hydrology and water management across research, teaching and practice. To pursue this, the society built a programme around three pillars: supporting the exchange of experience and information between science and professional practice; promoting early-career scientists; and strengthening scientific networking. In practice this has meant regularly supporting scientific conferences, specialist workshops and continuing-education events, initiating its own specialist events, and providing a discussion platform for new research priorities. A central element of the DHG's community work has been its support for young researchers. The society awards field scholarships (Feldstipendien), runs a mentoring programme, and organises a network of young hydrologists. This Netzwerk junger Hydrolog/-innen brings together prospective and early-career scientists from hydrology, environmental science, geoscience, engineering, forestry and related disciplines, offering a platform for networking, exchange and discussion and helping members plan their own activities and events. Membership in the network is free, and its organisational core is the DHG working group "Netzwerk junger Hydrolog/-innen", which is open to all interested parties and is led by speakers drawn from early-career researchers. The society also recognises achievement within the hydrological community. It awards the Deutscher Hydrologiepreis (German Hydrology Prize) for particular engagement in the hydrological community or specialist achievement, alongside dissertation and poster prizes that highlight the work of emerging researchers. Over the years since 2011 the DHG has established itself as a networking and coordination hub for the German-language hydrological community, using its website to publish current information on events, funding, awards and networking opportunities. It remains a non-commercial, membership-based association (eingetragener Verein) rather than a business, and its history is one of steady community-building rather than commercial expansion.
