The outcome of a symposium that discussed ways in which hydrologists can contribute most effectively to the planning and management of freshwater projects, including the efficient operation of existing systems faced with new socio-political situations, and how water resource managers can capitalise on the hydrological expertise available to them. The contributions discuss these topics and consider the need to include more environmental, social and economic aspects in the planning and management of such projects, while keeping in mind the sustainability of water resource systems and related projects.

This symposium was convened by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) as a contribution to the International Hydrology Programme (IHP-UNESCO) with the support of the Italian National Committees for the IHP and for IAHS and a number of other Italian bodies, both governmental and non governmental.
