The renowned hydrologist Wilfried Brutsaert, also known as Mr Evaporation, has been awarded the Stockholm Water Prize 2022 for his groundbreaking work to quantify environmental evaporation, helping to make accurate predictions of the impact that climate change has on local rainfall patterns and water sources.
Professor Brutsaert has developed ways to quantify evaporation and its role in the Earth’s energy balance, allowing for more accurate estimations of how precipitation is likely to evolve.
The Stockholm Water Prize is the world’s most prestigious water award and is often described as the Nobel Prize of water.
