As a partner of WMO, IAHS would like to draw your attention to the upcoming virtual Innovation Workshop on hydrometric monitoring.

Background: The WMO HydroHub Phase II was launched on 1 September 2021 for a 5-year period, to enhance capacities of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) in sustainable operation and effective delivery of hydrological monitoring services for disaster risk reduction, social and economic development and environmental protection. Advancing the use of innovative measurement approaches and technologies in operational hydrometry is a core aim of the HydroHub and will be the focus of a number of its activities including Innovation Calls and Innovation Workshops. Full details are available in the 2020 paper Dixon, H., et al., 'Intergovernmental cooperation for hydrometry – what, why and how?'

The Innovation Workshop will thus focus on identifying areas of innovation that the WMO HydroHub could support during its Phase II helping to ensure its activities help build sustainable capability within National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. The event will explore recent advances in hydrometric monitoring approaches and technologies and the current needs of operational monitoring agencies around the world.

Date of event: February 2 and 4, 2022

Format: An interactive virtual event on Zoom with six segments

Organizers: The WMO HydroHub, the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) MOXXI Working group and the WMO Public-Private Engagement Office.

The MOXXI Working Group (Measurements and Observations in the 21st Century) has the task to “promote the advancement of novel observational techniques that leads to new sources of information to help better understand the hydrological cycle”. More information can be found in the Tauro,  F., et al., 2018 paper 'Measurements and observations in the XXI century (MOXXI): innovation and multi-disciplinarity to sense the hydrological cycle.'

The papers from the 4th International Conference on the ''Hydrology of the Great Rivers of Africa'' in Cotonou, Benin, November 16-20 2021 are now available online open access as PIAHS 384.

https://piahs.copernicus.org/articles/384/index.html 

This conference is the fourth of a series started in 2015 in Tunisia, followed by a second edition in Senegal in 2016, and a third one in Algeria in 2018.  As usual this conference is the occasion to organize training courses, side-event workshops, and for the first time a PIAHS volume. This cycle of conferences also refers to the World Large Rivers Initiative launched by UNESCO in 2014 to which it contributes for the continent. The scientific coverage is comprehensive across the global theme of large rivers; ranging from observation, characterisation and modelling of various processes and settings, to the analysis of regimes, changes and security issues. Articles published in that issue, are hence much related to most of the 10 International Commissions of IAHS, and to cross-cutting and agenda-setting initiatives: innovation and assimilation in hydrometry and the data-service value chain, Prediction in Ungauged Basins – PUB, Hydrological change – Panta Rhei and related Water security and nexus approach, and socio-hydrology and citizen engagement. The clustering of the articles in three sections captures that alignment through a progression from hydrological dynamics, to regimes and changes, and to security. The range of African Large Rivers addressed across these articles is a richness as such, with an ultimate value for comparative hydrology; whereas some local studies are also included, which are valuable for documenting knowledge and models.

This open access bilingual issue is of particular interest and value for a large community of authors and readers in Africa, in terms of knowledge capitalization and sharing, both at the regional and international levels, within academia and in the science-policy bridging – as advocated by learned societies and UNESCO in terms of Open Science and public good. Leading authors come from 15 African countries, Canada, France and UK. Beyond these figures, this issue shows the great expectation of African researchers to integrate international institutional activities and share common scientific reflections. This PIAHS volume, as a contribution to the FRIEND-Water program, shortly follows the one published in 2020 out of the Beijing Global FRIEND-Water conference in 2018. The next Global FRIEND-Water conference is scheduled to be held in Dakar, Senegal in March 2023. The contribution of the African scientific community to IAHS activities is strongly increasing, which is also visible by the very large registration of African colleagues to the ongoing 23 UPHs in Africa initiative, whose results should be integrated to the global 23 UPHs discussions scheduled in Montpellier IAHS XIth scientific assembly in May–June 2022.
