Water | Science | Future!
KWB stands for applied science and innovation. We are resolute in addressing crucial future issues including climate change, water crises, digitalisation, sector coupling, urbanisation and smart city with dedicated research, practical solutions and inventive services.
It's all about the people!
Behind the work of the KWB are of course our staff - they make the KWB what it is. We took new portraits, which can now be viewed on our team page. Our new slideshow on the GeoSalz project shows what our employees look like at work. And since not everything can always be about work, we have also photographed our last team event.
Artificial Intelligence
Save the date for the BLUE PLANET Berlin Water Dialogues, this time about how artificial intelligence is revolutionising the water industry. Our managing director Jochen Rabe is not only a member of the advisory board who contributes to the programme. With our AI-based deterioration forecasts for sewer systems SEMAplus, we are also contributing one of many key topics. AI is also a focus of our report on cyber security in the water sector and our AI expertise is also in demand in numerous other projects - use the corresponding topic filter to find out more!

Thought Leader
Against the background of critical challenges and questions about the future of climate change, water crises, digitalisation, coupling sectors, urbanisation and the Smart City, KWB is developing innovative knowledge through committed, practical research. Our work is grounded in science, highly innovative, at times even uncomfortable, but the relevancy and urgency of it should never be underestimated.
Honest Broker
Over the last 20 years, KWB has worked closely and productively with numerous national and international partners from the fields of science, economics and the government. We have commitments in networks both within the water sector and far beyond it, too. We connect loose ends and we network amongst key players, stakeholders and relevant organisations. With our expertise and ideas, we facilitate vibrant exchanges as well as innovative changes.
Driver of Change
KWB conveys valuable knowledge. This is a process in which we communicate far beyond any exclusive circle of experts. Our work is of great value to society. That’s why we don’t just share our knowledge with our various stakeholders, but also with the broadly interested public. The knowledge which we convey becomes the basis for informed decisions and thus helps bring about positive changes. It also flows into the development of practical services and innovative products.
