British Hydrological Society Annual Conference "Hydrologists make the water go round"

May 04, 2016

 

"Water is fundamental to our lives. Not only do we rely on water to sustain our metabolism and for sanitation, but it is essential for almost all of our food production; is a carrier for our waste; maintains a habitat for flora and fauna; supports recreation and enhances the aesthetic value of our landscape. However, to much or too little, at the wrong palace or the wrong time can cause major disruptions to society. In order to support society, water has to be managed in a way that satisfies its multiple users and uses within the constraints of politics and economics."

The 2016 BHS International Symposium will focus on how the scientific understanding of hydrology is applied to managing water in order to satisfy the competing needs of society, and how “hydrologists make the water go round”.
