In river
basins everywhere, man's activities have disrupted the natural hydrological and
ecological regimes. This is
particularly true for those basins in developing country regions where climatic
variability and basin development undertaken with little or no data have
frequently led to the depletion of water resources, ecosystem degradation, and
poor quality of life. New advances in
understanding and predictive capacity are needed to support the sustainable
management of ungauged or poorly gauged basins. The Workshop will focus on the formulation of a PUBS science
programme which can mobilize the scientific community in a coordinated and
effective way to address this major challenge over the next ten years.
