What is the most critical bottle neck hydrological science is struggling with now

Hydrology 2020 Working Group
The IAHS (International Association of
Hydrological Sciences) has initiated a working
group of young hydrologists (age ? 35 years) with
the primary goal of identifying possible and
recommended directions for the field of hydrology
over the next 20 years.

• What is the most critical bottle neck
  hydrological science is struggling with now?
• What are the expected advances in technology
  which will contribute to the future hydrology?
• What are the water issues which society demands
  to be solved?
• What is the specialty in hydrology which cannot
  be dealt with by other disciplines?

Hydrology 2020 Working Group

• The Groups Mission Statement
• We will explore how hydrological sciences can
  evolve into a discipline capable of meeting the
  world water challenges that are expected to
  prevail by 2020.
• We will undertake a broad range of tasks, from
  identifying knowledge gaps and hydrological
  research priorities to determining ways to
  improve communication between hydrological
  scientists and those involved with developing and
  implementing water policies.
• Our intention is to formulate a vision that will
  be embraced by practising hydrological scientists
  and will also persuade younger scientists to
  become involved in hydrological science research.

Do you feel concerned about water issues? The
group needs YOUR input to accomplish our

The group is supported by the German IHP/OHP
Committee, UNESCO and WMO. Additional
