The country has a large number of specialists available in every conceivable area: from the design and construction of dikes, forecasting systems, and decision-supporting systems, through to crisis management, measurement systems and evacuation.

 

01 NOV 2010: INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON DATA ASSIMILATION FOR OPERATIONAL HYDROLOGIC FORECASTING AND WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
AGENDA

This 2.5-day workshop at Deltares in Delft, the Netherlands, on Nov 1-3, 2010, aims at bringing together expert scientists, engineers, operational forecasters and water managers to share experience, ideas, techniques and tools in the broad area of data assimilation (DA) for operational hydrologic forecasting and water resources management. The goal of the workshop is to develop and foster community-based efforts for collaborative research, development and synthesis of techniques and tools, and cost-effective science-to-operations transition of them. This workshop is co-organized by Deltares and the NOAA National Weather Service Office of Hydrologic Development and co-sponsored by the Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction Experiment (HEPEX) and the Flood Control 2015 innovation programme (http://www.floodcontrol2015.com).
