From 2005-07-11 to 2005-07-15

Venue: Novosibirsk, Russia

Summary:
The workshop is targeted to contribute to the critical analysis and assessment of our knowledge of key EHE-related issues of hydrology, such as: high floods, unusually low flows and droughts, as well as the issues of their management. In view of significant economic losses and wide geographical occurrence, the study of these hydrological phenomena is of great scientific and practical importance.

The topics of this workshop will include the followings:
• mechanisms of the EHE origin
• genetic and stochastic models of both maximum and minimum runoff problems of their prediction and forecasting are supposed to be the main topics of consideration at the meeting.
• engineering and non-engineering counter measures for flood disaster defence and mitigation
• floodplain risk assessment and management
• environmental effects of extreme changes of runoff are to be considered as well.
