Water Resource Planning and Management

Submit Abstract Register Now

Water resource planning and management mainly concerns with surface and ground water, addressing both water quantity and quality, learning to understand human influences on the hydrological system, and apply tools, such as modelling, for the proper integration of hydrological knowledge and analysis in water resources and planning. It also includes with water system, watershed hydrology, hydrology, water quality, remote sensing and GIS and geotechnical engineering. Managing water resources certainly requires knowledge of the relevant physical sciences and technology. But at least as important, if not more so, are the multiple institutional, social or political issues confronting water resources planners and managers.
