Hydrological prediction where data are available is relatively easily achieved, albeit subject to uncertainty that is often unquantified. But, ungauged catchments (by far the majority) present major difficulties for hydrological prediction, hence the IAHS Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB) initiative. Recognising the diversity of interests and expertise of hydrologists, and practical prediction needs, PUB has adopted a philosophy of plurality in terms of applications, hydro-climatic regions and prediction methods, yet converges to focus on the assessment, and eventual reduction, of predictive uncertainty as its overall target. The PUB Workshop held at Perth, Western Australia, brought together researchers and practitioners (from Australia, Japan and elsewhere) to assess current hydrological prediction capabilities, and future research directions to achieve significant improvements given the decline of hydrological gauging networks, natural variability, and long-term climate and land-use changes. This volume is the outcome of those deliberations. It combines chapters presenting innovative theoretical and practical possibilities of different approaches for prediction, with contributions describing the differing perspectives and specific needs of Australia and Japan in particular.
