Water resilience
Sustainable water-energy system planning in a changing world
Welcome to the page of the Dr Charles Rougé's research group. We develop numerical methods and apply them to illuminate pathways to sustainability in water resource and water-energy systems subject to climate change, the energy transition, and connected crises.

Current research areas
Water planning and the energy transition
Modelling the energy transition impacts on power users, starting with the water sector. For details see project website.
Robust design of hydropower systems
Developing tools to design hydropower systems fit for the twenty-first century.
Exploring long-term futures
Developing tools to model, explore and analyse complex futures, from streamflow generation to ensemble runs of IPCC-grade models.
Assessing forecasts' value
Analysing how and when forecasts can be valuable for water system operations.
Climate change risks to water quality
Cutting-edge water quality-quantity modeling to tackle how nutrient effluents and hot summers lead to algal blooms.
Basin-scale water resource modelling
Past and current research on my core expertise to support finding innovative solutions to a range of water issues.
Metrics and methods for collaboration
See how approaches and metrics developed in this group help colleagues in flooding, urban drainage and beyond.
