The 28 papers in this publication provide a select but excellent and interesting overview of the current state of the art in remote sensing and geographic information systems and of the wide field of applications in hydrology. The papers were accepted for the international symposium on Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems for Design and Operation of Water Resources Systems which was jointly organized by the IAHS International Committee on Remote Sensing and Data Transmission and the IAHS International Commission on Water Resources Systems, and held during the Fifth Scientific Assembly of the IAHS, at Rabat, Morocco, April–May 1997. It is only during the last five years that an integration of remote sensing and geographic information systems with hydrological models has become technologically feasible. Through this, not only is a higher level of model sophistication achieved, but also an improved accuracy of results and the more efficient use of such models in the field of water resources management.
