The Stockholm Water Prize is a prestigious global award for water-related achievements. Since 1991, it has been granted annually by the Stockholm Water Foundation and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, presented by King Carl XVI Gustaf.
In 2025, hydrologist Günter Blöschl was recognized for significant contributions to understanding flood risks due to climate change and land use. His research has improved flood risk management and sustainable water practices.
Günter Blöschl serves as a professor at the Vienna University of Technology and has pioneered hydrological research globally. He emphasizes collaboration and international perspectives in scientific endeavors.
In 2024, Professor Taikan Oki was honored for his work on climate simulation models, global river flows, and virtual water trade. His TRIP system model advances global water management and understanding of human impacts on water cycles.
Professor Taikan Oki, from the University of Tokyo, contributed significantly to hydrology and climate adaptation measures. He plans to inspire future researchers and address global water issues. The award ceremony will take place during World Water Week in Stockholm
