Designing Resilient Water Systems for a Changing World: Spotlight on Prof. Luis Garrote

Prof. Luis Garrote, Full Professor of Hydraulic Engineering at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), is a leading voice in sustainable water management and climate change adaptation. His work addresses the Mediterranean basin—one of the regions most exposed to climate change—where rising temperatures, declining rainfall, and recurrent droughts threaten water security, ecosystems, and economies. As head of the Hydroinformatics and Water Management Group, Prof. Garrote combines advanced modeling, climate science, and decision-support tools to help society anticipate and adapt to these risks. By bridging cutting-edge science and practical policy design, Prof. Garrote has built a body of work that empowers decision-makers to act decisively in the face of growing climate pressures on water resources.
