Waterways are complex water systems. The Federal Institute for Water Science (BfG), located in the business area of the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV), helps to shape it sustainably and efficiently. As the scientific institute of the Federal Institute for Research, Assessment and Consulting in the fields of hydrology, water use, water quality, ecology and water protection, it advises the BMV, other federal ministries, the waterways and shipping administration (WSV) and third parties. In the BfG, dedicated people from many disciplines work in a modernly equipped working environment.
