Theme: Hydrology and water resources management

The topics covered are:

  • Understanding, monitoring and forecasting of hydrological extremes (floods and droughts; extent, frequency and intensity, uncertainty estimation and data assimilation)
  • Urban hydrology (drainage sustainable restoration of natural processes, surface run-off)
  • Management of water resources
  • Hydraulic engineering and systems
  • Effects of variability and climate change
  • Water and ecosystems (soil-plant-atmosphere interaction, eco-hydrology, water and food)
