HELPING Working Groups

Science for Solutions decade: HELPING – Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world.

Science for water solutions decade: HELPING – Hydrology Engaging Local People IN one Global world. Read the Concept Note and follow the process through the time plan. The overarching goal is understanding hydrological diversity and integrating knowledge across scales and regions.

Theme 1
HELPING with global and local interactions

Research Goals

Outcome / Product Goals

Community Goals

Understanding local hydrological processes Case-studies populating the Digital Water Globe platform Meta-analysis (synthesis) for joint global description of diversity
Understanding differences and similarities between regions Large-sample datasets; Tools for monitoring or assessments Collaboration between people at similar conditions worldwide
Understanding global-local interactions Methods to link global estimates with local conditions Recognition when implementing general policy at local level
