The conference topics are: 1-hydrological data-policy, international rivers, databases, real time, dissemination, 2-managing hydrological risk-floods, surface and groundwater droughts, 3-water scarcity-overexploitation and poverty reduction, 4-sustaining water-related ecosystems-definitions, methodology and operation, 5-continental hydrology-regimes, water sharing, tele-connections, snow, ice, international basins. The volume contains 63 selected reviewed papers from a total of over 130 abstracts. The papers demonstrate how advances in hydrology can be used for the development of integrated river basin management to ensure the sustainable development of water resources. Furthermore examples are given for incooperating research results in operational hydrology and water resources planning, including numerical and statistical models and visualisation techniques.
