| Título: |
VII IAHS Scientific Assembly |
| Alias: |
|
| Descripción: |
In recent years, the problems of providing freshwater for domestic and agricultural use and of protecting life and property from flood and drought have at last been recognized at a high level within the international community of Nations. Despite threats of international terrorism, the scourge of AIDS and concern at the impact of globalization, freshwater now holds a high position on the international agenda. It is therefore important that the hydrological community focuses its attention on those aspects of the science that will truly contribute to solving the World's many water problems. Of particular concern are the sustainability of existing water supplies in the face of increasing demands, and the need to account for uncertainty and change in the environment in which we live.
The programme for this, the Seventh Scientific Assembly of IAHS, covers a very wide range of topics reflecting the diversity of interests of the Association's members, Commissions and Working Groups. Nevertheless, these two topics - sustainability and uncertainty - bind the programme together in the common goal of advancing the science of hydrology in the service of mankind. All people have a natural aversion to uncertainty and a desire for sustainability, but risk and change cannot be avoided and the challenge for this Assembly is to improve our understanding of both and to refine our ability to transmit this understanding to those who manage the World's limited resources of freshwater.
