Résumé :
|
Wadi hydrology has emerged as a distinct scientific area within the last decade, due mainly to the initiative of a small number of individuals within and without the Arab region, and the active support of UNESCO, assisted by ACSAD and ALECSO. This has been due to the recognition that the hydrology of arid and semi-arid areas is very different from that of humid areas and raises important scientific, technical and logistical challenges, and that an improved science base is essential to meet current and future needs of water management.
