Büro für Angewandte Hydrologie

Büro für Angewandte Hydrologie (BAH) is a German engineering consultancy specialising in hydrology and hydraulics. Founded in August 1995 by Dr. B. Pfützner, the firm was converted into a GmbH in 2021. Its main office is in Berlin, and it works closely with a partner office in Munich that focuses on soil-water balance and vegetation modelling. BAH provides expert reports and advisory services on a wide range of hydrological and hydraulic questions, combining established engineering methods with current scientific approaches. The firm is also the developer and distributor of the hydrological modelling system ArcEGMO, which it uses as a tool for diverse hydrological investigations. BAH offers training for external users of ArcEGMO and maintains close cooperation with scientific institutions. Its work is supported by modern information technology, including tight integration of methods and models with geographic information systems, which helps keep investigation procedures cost-effective. The company is privately held and operates primarily in the German market.

Büro für Angewandte Hydrologie (BAH) was founded in August 1995 by Dr. B. Pfützner. From its base in Berlin, the firm built a practice around hydrological and hydraulic consulting and expert reports. Over the years it developed and refined the hydrological modelling system ArcEGMO, which became a central tool for its project work and was adapted repeatedly to new requirements. BAH also established close cooperation with scientific institutions, allowing it to combine proven engineering methods with innovative scientific approaches. In 2021 the business was converted into a GmbH. The firm maintains a main office in Berlin and works with a partner office in Munich specialising in soil-water balance and vegetation modelling. It continues to offer consulting, expert reports, software, and training, and participates in industry events such as the Tag der Hydrologie and the Gewässertagung at Haus Chorin.
