About Us

  • Mission

    Water and soil are the basis of our life and the water cycle is thus a central aspect of our society. Since clean water is of great importance for daily use, the responsible and sustainable use of soil and water resources is a major challenge. In Austria we contribute our share for ensuring that future generations have sufficient ground water and surface water of high quality.

    Blick auf das Gebäude des Instituts von vorne, es handelt sich um ein Schloss in Petzenkirchen. Im Vordergrund ist ein Zaun mit Tor. Das Tor ist links und rechts in zwei großen Säulen verankert. Das Gebäude besteht aus einem etwas höheren Mittelteil (drei Etagen hoch) und zwei Seitenteilen mit jeweils zwei Etagen).

  • History

    The Institute in Petzenkirchen was founded in the year 1945 with the idea of primarily focusing on the improvement of the soil water and the productiveness of agriculturally used soils, since at that time the nutritional situation and the productiveness of the soil was especially important.
