The International Hydrology Prize (Dooge Medal and Volker Medal)

This is awarded by IAHS, with UNESCO and WMO, to two people who have made an outstanding contribution to hydrological science. Two medals are awarded under the International Hydrology Prize: the Dooge Medal and the Volker Medal. Both medals are intended to distinguish outstanding achievements by hydrological scientists but with a different focus. The Dooge medal is aimed at fundamental contributions to the science of hydrology, whereas the Volker medal is aimed at outstanding applications of hydrological science for the benefit of society at large. 

The Tison and Falkenmark Awards

The Tison Award is granted for an outstanding paper published by IAHS in a period of two years prior to the deadline for nominations. The Falkenmark Award is for best PhD thesis from a nominee who grew up in and recently performed the PhD work in one or more financially disadvantaged countries.
