HydroPredict 2008 - International Interdisciplinary Conference on Predictions for Hydrology, Ecology and Water Resources Management: Using Data and Models to Benefit Society

The conference is intended to be interdisciplinary. It will bring together scientists and other experts to discuss how to improve predictions by joint use of data and models in the following three fields:

• hydrology (groundwater, surface water and catchment, including water quality)
• ecology (wetland, riverrine, estuarine, terrestrial)
• water resources management (groundwater, vadose zone, and surface water)

The three fields are connected through the central, critical role played by water.

The conference aims to facilitate the exchange of scientific knowledge and engineering expertise between scientists, engineers (consultants, practitioners), water resources planners and managers, and policy makers. The conference includes solicited (keynote) lectures on diverse topics, and contributed oral and poster presentations (both to be published in the proceedings).

The Conference provides a contribution to the implementation of the Groundwater Component of the IHP VI 2002-2007 Programme - Water Interaction Systems at Risks and Social Challenges.
