From 2008-09-15 to 2008-09-18

Venue: Prague, Czech Republic

Summary:
Predictions using mathematical models have become a critical part of water resources management as hydrological and ecological systems have been increasingly affected by human demands. This interdisciplinary conference 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: (1) hydrology (groundwater, surface water and catchment, including water quality); (2) ecology (wetland, riverine, estuarine, terrestrial); and (3) water resources management (groundwater, vadose zone, and surface water). The conference will aim to facilitate the exchange of scientific knowledge and engineering expertise between scientists, engineers (consultants, practitioners), water resources planners and managers, and policy makers.

Organizers: Jointly convened by: Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic; IAHS International Commission on Groundwater (ICGW); T.G. Masaryk Water Research Institute (VÚV), Prague, Czech Republic; US Geological Survey (USGS); and Universität für Bodenkultur Wien (BOKU), University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria
