Some hydro-medicine

Hat-sjuuu
Haaattt-sjuuuu

The thermometer was rising and not because of the cool autumn temperature. Nope its THE nightmare of PhD-students caused by some small viruses. It keeps you in bed and @ home for some days. Although its a nuisance, once the brain is functioning again, its a good moment to reflect, rethink and read papers for which one never has time for.

The following medicine prescription cures and helps hydrologist to get better soon. 
Click 2 links every day and drink lots of H2O for five consecutive days and everything is fine. 
Danger to many links can cause an allergic reaction.

Run or not to run...

 There was a running water during the SOLA 2012 where parts of H2K participated and achieved a quite good result .

Running through the water on the other hand was recently in the head lines.
The publication Whether or not to run in the rain (Bocci 2012) had a broad international media attention and discussed what we should do when it starts to rain.Its interesting that a physicist brought up this topic. He described the phenomenon in an elegant way. However one shouldn't run but just dress in a proper way and stand still during this most interesting play of nature. Enjoy when stream starts to respond and see the forces of nature. Measure sample or what ever but enjoy the hydrology not just run!!!






Several international media told us what to do in rain but forgot the most important...
