Exchange workshop on rainfall simulation funded by DAAD

In the last week, the first part of a DAAD-funded exchange workshop between the Soil Science and Geomorphology Group (project lead Dr. Steffen Seitz) and colleagues from the Department of Landscape Water Conservation at Czech Technical University Prague (project lead Dr. Josef Krása) took place in Tübingen. We successfully tested and compared two portable rainfall simulators with different setups from both research institutions. In this context we used laser distrometer and sand-filled splash cups (T-cups) for calibration. Furthermore, we tested a MiniJet device.

Thank you very much for this great exchange and the invitation for a return visit to Prague.
