Résumé :
|
Extreme hydrological events-floods and droughts have caused significant losses all over the world. To reduce these losses and improve on present preparedness, a need for more holistic approaches has become evident. Issues of particular importance are: to improve understanding of hydrological and atmospheric processes that lead to hydrological extremes; to predict their occurrence and severity; to solve management issues related to preparedness and mitigation; and to estimate hydrological extremes in a changing environment. The papers in this volume offer a broad perspective on these issues and represent a variety of natural conditions from arid and humid tropics to tundra and glacial environments.
