The aim of this conference is to bring together experts from different countries to advance water resource management across the globe, particularly in light of the changes impacting water resources. This includes the impacts of climate change, population growth, land use/cover change, changing social perceptions and interests, as well as changes in the policy setting. This will consider both water quantity and quality, and focus on the hydrological aspects, as well as the connections between hydrology and other disciplines (e.g. ecology, agronomy, social science, policy research).

This conference is part of the series of IWRM conferences organised by IAHS-ICWRS, and is also linked to the Panta Rhei Scientific Decade (2013-2022) of the IAHS. The conference will focus on a range of water resource management methodologies and issues, including:

Integrated Water Resource Management: successes and failures
Balancing economic, social and environmental needs and desires (UPH22)
Managing environmental flows to maintain the ecological worth of rivers and receiving bodies (e.g. lakes, wetlands, estuaries, reefs)
Impact of water resource management on public health
Allowing for spatio-temporal distribution of water resources
Improving water resource allocation, taking into consideration the breadth of potential users
Risk-based management of water resources: handling uncertainty in model outputs

Papers related to selected questions arising the “Unsolved Problems in Hydrology” initiative and how these relate to water resource management are also invited. Particular question of interest is here question 22: What are the synergies and tradeoffs between societal goals related to water management (e.g. water-environment-energy-food-health)?
