Welcome
In 1980, two years after the death of Otto Jaag (1900–1978) and at his request, Elisabeth Jaag-Schenk set up the "Otto Jaag Water Protection Prize" fund at the ETH Zurich, in order to recognize outstanding dissertations and Master's theses in the field of water protection/hydrology at the ETH Zurich. Professor Jaag, who was renowned both nationally and internationally as a water protection pioneer, served as the Director of Eawag from 1952 to 1970. The Otto Jaag Water Protection Prize, which is worth CHF 1000, is awarded annually at a ceremony held on "ETH-Tag".
