Call for abstracts for the international symposium: "The Role of Hydrology in Water Resources Management"
The sympsium will be held in the Isle of Capri, Naples (Italy) in 14-16
October 2008. The purpose of the Symposium "The Role of Hydrology in
Water Resources Management” is to discuss ways in which hydrologists can
contribute most effectively to the planning and management of freshwater
projects, including the efficient operation of existing systems faced with
new socio-political situations. It will also address how water resource
managers can capitalise on the hydrological expertise available to them. At
the Symposium, hydrologists and water resource managers are invited to
discuss these topics, taking into account the need to include more
environmental, social and economic aspects in the planning and management of
such projects, while keeping in mind the sustainability of water resource
systems and related projects. As hydraulic and water management projects can
have negative impacts on the environment, those with expertise in
environmental matters will be particularly welcome.
During the symposium a special session is proposed on "New Statistical
Tools in Hydrology" to launch the new Working Group STAHY (Statistics in
Hydrology) recently created by IAHS. It has been therefore decided to
organise just before the symposium from 13th – 14th October 2008 a special
workshop on "New Statistical Tools in Hydrology". Informations on this event
will be distributed separately.
The papers presented at the symposium will be published in the red book
series of IAHS.
Deadline for abstract submission: December 31, 2007. Abstracts of
the papers should be submitted to Kodwo
Andah.
