N°56. Into the second century of worldwideglacier monitoring: prospects and strategies.Edited by W. Haeberli, M. Hoelzle and S. Suter.UNESCO, 1998. 227 pp., tables, graphs. English.ISBN 92-3-103434-0.

Price: 27.44 Euros

International co-ordination of long-term glacierobservations is a century-long tradition thatbegan in 1894 with the establishment of theInternational Glacier Commission in Zürich,Switzerland. Over the past century, the goalsof internationally co-ordinated glacier

monitoring have changed somewhat and multiplied. Today,the evolution of glaciers and ice caps is recognized as being

one of the key variables for the early detection of possibleman-induced climatic change. The general shrinkage ofmountain glaciers during the 20th century is a majorreflection of the fact that rapid secular change in the energybalance of the Earth’s surface is taking place on a globalscale.The volume opens with the facsimile of an article written in1894 by F.-A. Forel, President of the International GlacierCommission, followed by thematic chapters dealing withglacier monitoring, data handling, modelling and remote-sensing techniques, as well as a selection of regionalaccounts. Characteristic examples of glaciers from allcontinents are described, including special cases such as thecontinental ice sheets.

Keywords: glaciers, glacier mass balance, climate change

N°57. Monitoring for groundwatermanagement in (semi-)arid regions. Acontribution to IHP-IV Project M-1-1b. Preparedby Henny A.J. van Lanen. UNESCO, 1998. 224pp., tables, figures, graphs. English. ISBN 92-3-103579-7.

Price: 22.11 Euros

This document focuses on groundwatermonitoring in (semi-)arid regions, includingavailable monitoring tools as well as itsspatial and temporal aspects. Currentpossibilities for the storage of collected dataand their processing, including data retrieval

and distribution using groundwater information systems, arealso explained. Although time-independent data such aselevation, land use, aquifer thickness and lithology are ofmajor importance for monitoring network design andinterpretation of monitoring data, the document limits itself tosubjects related to the collection of dynamic hydrologicalvariables and related aspects.This document is a valuable tool for professionalhydrogeologists. It is a technical guide containing sufficientinformation to set up an initial design of a groundwatermonitoring network. The document has two parts: Part Ideals with basic studies and in Part II, case studies arepresented. The general outline for groundwater monitoring in(semi) arid regions is presented in Chapter 2. It summarizesand refers to the main issues dealt with in the document,thereby situating groundwater in the wider context ofgroundwater management studies, including groundwatersystem identification and modelling.

Keywords: groundwater, groundwater monitor-ing,groundwater information systems, groundwater quantity, aridregions, semi-arid regions, groundwater modelling

N°58. Water resources of hard rock aquifersin arid and semi-arid zones. Edited by J.W.Lloyd. UNESCO, 1999. 284 pp., tables, figures.English. ISBN 92-3-103511-8.

Price: 42.69 Euros

In 1984, the IHP of UNESCO publishedGroundwater in hard rocks (Studies andReports in Hydrology N°33), edited by I.Larsson. The publication provided anexcellent guide to the procedures then in usefor recognizing the presence of groundwater

in igneous and metamorphic terrains and the methods ofresources assessment and exploitation. The publication tooka global view, irrespective of climate. Since 1984, growingattention has been paid to groundwater resourcesdevelopment in many parts of the semi-arid and arid areaswhere ‘hard rocks’ occur. This has stemmed from a generalprogressive formulation of socio-economic plans in thecountries concerned but, in certain instances, notably insouthern Africa, it is the occurrence of drought and the need


3

to create and maintain viable potable water supplies thathave focused attention. In addition, procedures in such fieldsas remote sensing, well yield enhancement, numericalgroundwater modelling, etc., have substantially advancedand beneficially added to the overall appreciation ofgroundwater in ‘hard rocks’.In response to the improving understanding of ‘hard rock’hydrogeology and investigation techniques, the IHP hasundertaken the present update of the Larrson (1984)compilation. For this publication, ‘hard rocks’ are defined asigneous intrusive and metamorphic rocks. Volcanics androcks such assedimentary quartzites are not included.However, to demonstrate the methodology, some hardfractured limestone conditions are cited. Furthermore, thepublication is directed towards groundwater conditions inhard rocks in semi-arid and arid areas, (i.e., areas withannual average precipitationbelow 400-500 mm) although,for illustrative purposes, data from other climatic areas areincluded.

Keywords: hard rocks, groundwater, arid and semi-arid areas, igneous and metamorphic terrains, resourcesassessment and exploitation

N°59. Management and conservation of theAfrican Great Lakes (Lakes Victoria, Tanganyikaand Malawi). Comprehensive and comparativestudy of Great Lakes. IHP-IV Project M-5-1. ByRuud C.M. Crul. UNESCO, 1998. 107 pp., tables,figures. English. ISBN 92-3-103593-2.

Price: 19.06 Euros

This publication is one result of IHP-IV ProjectM-5-1 Comprehensive and Comparative Studyof Great Lakes. The African Great LakesWorking Group of the International LimnologicalSociety (SIL) collaborated with UNESCO’s IHPon implementing the various project activities.

The project’s overall objective was to bring together theknowledge gained over the past 15 years on the limnologyand hydrology of Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Malawi. Acomprehensive, comparative study has been made in twoearlier monographs on the individual lakes of Victoria (Crul,1995, Studies & Reports in Hydrology N°53), Tanganyika andMalawi (Crul, 1997, Studies & Reports in Hydrology N°54),while the present publication focuses on the managementand conservation of these same lakes.The role of limnological and hydrological research inaddressing the management and conservation of thesemajor inland water bodies is highlighted in these threemonographs. The comparative limnology and hydrology ofthe three lakes are discussed and an integrated approach iselaborated. The three studies in this series may form thebasis for a consensus on the hydrological and limnologicaldescriptions of these international water systems.Consequently, it should be easier for the riparian countries toreach agreement on the use, development, planning andmanagement of these lakes.

Keywords: limnology, hydrology, conservation,management, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi,biotic environment, sediments, nutrient dynamics,hydrodynamics, water balance

Use of data on atmospheric moisturetransport over continents and large riverbasins for the estimation of water balancesand other purposes. By L.P. Kuznetsova. IHP-III Project 1.1. UNESCO, 1990. English.(SC.90/WS/36).

Atmospheric moisture, its transfer and phase transitions,plays an important role in climatic systems and thehydrological cycle. The information on atmospheric moistureand its circulation is of practical use for estimating the effectsof large-scale water reclamation, air and water pollution, forlong-term forecasting of climate and water regimes; thisinformation is most important for water balance computationsbased on the combined solution of atmospheric and riverbasin water balance equations. The detailed description ofatmospheric moisture based on aerological observationsimproves our knowledge not only of the atmospheric branchof the hydrological cycle, but also of the whole cycle. Thepurpose of the publication is to review new information onatmospheric water content and transport in connection withwater-balance computation. During 1986-1987, the IHPSecretariat received, through the IHP National Committees ofAustralia, Brazil, Canada, China, the USA and the ex-USSR,a number of publications on the theme of IHP-III Project 1.1.In addition, China and the USSR presented special reportson the project. The publication gives a short summary ofthese national contributions.

Keywords: large river basins, climate, atmosphericmoisture, water balance.

The use of nuclear techniques in sedimenttransport and sedimentation problems. By M.J.Crickmore, G.S. Tazioli, P.G. Appleby and F.Oldfield. IHP-III Project 5.2. UNESCO, 1990.English. (SC.90/WS/49).

The aim of this report is a critical review of the impact ofnuclear techniques for the solution of specific hydrologicalproblems. The review considers three nuclear techniquesthat have contributed to our understanding of sedimentaryprocesses. The three categories are quite distinct andseparate chapters are devoted to each. First, the utilization ofnucleonic transmission and backscatter probes is described:on the one hand, for gauging temporal variations in the highsuspended sediment charges of water courses; and on theother, for the spatial mapping of soft bed deposits.Secondly, the role that artificial radio-isotopes can plan assediment tracers to reveal the behaviour of silt, sand andgravel is developed. Thirdly, the contributions that lead-210

dating and artificial fallout studies can make in establishingthe time scale of recent sedimentation is assessed. Thedetailed review of the nuclear techniques is prefaced by abrief account of the different hydraulic/ sedimentologicalinteractions operating in river, estuarine and coastalenvironments and the state-of-the-art with regard totraditional non-nuclear acquisition of relevant sedimentarydata by direct measurement or by deduction from hydraulicmodels.

Keywords: sedimentary processes, rivers, estuaries, lakes,sediment transport, nuclear gauging, tracer methods, radio-isotopes, dating with isotopes, artificial fallout isotopes.

Integrated land-use planning and groundwaterprotection in rural areas. A comparative studyof planning and management methodologies.IHP-III Project 10.6. UNESCO, 1991. English.(SC.91/WS/26).

Prepared by the Project Working Group of theGroundwater Protection Commission of the InternationalAssociation of Hydrogeologists (IAH), this document dealsmainly with the qualitative aspects of groundwater resourcesprotection resulting from inadequate land-use management.Quantitative depletion of groundwater resources is alsocovered, showing falling groundwater levels due to over-development of aquifers as the most common problem. Butthe consequences of poor management and uncontrolledland-use on groundwater quality are much more complex,long-term and very difficult to remedy. Land-use planning inrelation to groundwater protection is seen as a dynamicprocess, within which hierarchical interests may conflict andpriorities change in terms of time and space. The need tobalance land-use needs and groundwater protection isdiscussed as well as the consequences of land-use ongroundwater resources; data requirements and databasemanagement; land-use planning and groundwater protectionmanagement; legislation and regulations; implementation ofgroundwater protection management; and public informationand education.

Keywords: groundwater, groundwater protection,groundwater management, legislation, data management,public information, land-use.

Hydrological, chemical and biologicalprocesses of contaminant transformation andtransport in river and lake systems. By G.Jolánkai. IHP-IV Project H-3-2. UNESCO, 1992.English. (SC.93/WS/15).

This state-of-the-art report presents a study of thehydrological, chemical and biological processes ofcontaminant transformation and transport in river and lakesystems. It adopts a practical control- and management-oriented systems analysis approach presenting mathematicaland computational tools to support decision-making inmanaging the aquatic environment. Basic formulae fortransport and transformation processes are derived on thebasis of conservation of mass and continuity considerations.Transport and transformation processes in streams arediscussed. Multi-parameter stream water quality models areexamined in the light of the capabilities of some of the earlymodel systems, thus presenting some of the most widelyused methods of describing the details of the oxygenhousehold processes, including nitrification, photosynthesis,benthic oxygen demand, etc. Modelling of stream transportprocesses with special regard to dispersion and mixing ispresented in detail including sample applications ofnumerical solutions to the advection-dispersion equation.

The section on hydrological processes deals essentiallywith the non-point source pollution problem. Processes ofland-runoff generation (precipitation, interception, infiltration,evapo-transpiration) are discussed along with their role in the

fate of the contaminants. The quantification possibilities ofrun-off induced pollution loads are examined, with an overallreview of the processes involved. Conclusions on thepossibilities and limitations of quantifying (modelling)pollutant transport and transformation processes arepresented.

Keywords: aquatic systems, stream processes, pollutanttransformation and transport, lakes and reservoirs,eutrophication, non-point source pollution.

International seminar on the hydrology oflarge flatlands. Proceedings of the BuenosAires Seminar (November 1989). Edited byM.C.F. Mejia. UNESCO, 1993. Bilingual English/Spanish.

This volume represents the proceedings of theinternational seminar on the “Hydrology of Flatlands” held inBuenos Aires, Argentina, in November 1989. It contains 90papers presented at the seminar. Large flatlands are thehabitat of a great part of the world population and many ofthem supply food for human consumption. Their study,therefore, is very important in planning their use. The firstchapter includes some of the papers dealing with theknowledge of the flatland by means of case examples andtheoretical developments and models. Importance was givento the quantification of real evapotranspiration, one of theproblems where great progress has been made, althoughwith insufficient results. Evapotranspiration is directly linkedto the understanding of the biological problems of vegetationstudies by botanical scientists, another problem dealt with bythe seminar. The seminar also included a discussion on soiland water management in large flatlands. The papersshowed the results of the application of agrotechnicalpractices - known as microhydraulics - which, together withmacrohydraulics, are very helpful in solving problemsoriginating from large floods. Moreover, if these practicesare applied in carefully-selected areas, the occurrence ofsuch floods may be prevented.

Workshop Sediment Quality. Fifth internationalsymposium on river sedimentation (Karlsruhe,1992). Edited by P. Larsen and N. Eisenhauer.UNESCO, 1993. English. (SC.93/WS/24).

While symposia on river hydraulics traditionally concentrateon the quantitative aspects of sediment transport, the


11

attention of hydrologists and environmentalists is now turningtowards the quality of sediments as both carriers andpotential sources of contaminants in aquatic systems.Contaminated sediment in suspension and the activation ofchemical processes in polluted bed sediments due to re-suspension may have significant impact on the aquaticenvironment. When deposited on the land, sediment mayalso affect groundwater quality and agricultural production.Responding to the new needs, sediment quality was put onthe programme of the River Sedimentation Symposium inKarlsruhe as the theme of a workshop chaired by Prof UlrichForstner.

Sediment quality criteria are discussed in the introductorypaper prepared by the Chairperson and his collaborators,from both the pragmatic and fundamental points of view.Illustrative case studies are presented in the papers ofseveral authors, dealing with a variety of subjects such ascomparison of sediment quality in impounded and non-impounded river sections, heavy metal pollution ofsediments, phosphorus relationships, sediment qualitydownstream from dams and mathematical modelling ofcohesive sediments influencing oxygen demand. Thepublication is a useful guide for research on sediment quality.

Summary review of available models forgroundwater flow and contaminant migration.Proceedings of the workshop on hydrologicalimpact of nuclear power plant systems (Paris, 23-25 September 1992). By F. Quercia. UNESCO,1993. English. (SC.94/WS/3).

Accidental radioactive releases from nuclear power plants(NPPs) contaminate groundwater directly, by spilling on thesurface and then slowly infiltrating into the ground, and alsothrough the atmosphere, reaching wide distances from thesite. From the hydrogeological point of view, a favorable sitefor a NPP is where the risk of interaction with major aquifersis minimum and where the path and time of transit ofpotential contamination from the site to the users ispredictable with a fair degree of confidence. The introductorychapter of the publication comprises an overview of relevanthydrogeological factors and an outline of the mainhydrogeological investigations, followed by a brief review ofavailable codes for the simulation of the pertinentphenomena. Twenty-three selected codes are then shortlydescribed and classified according to their simulationcapability, popularity (i.e., number of users, tests and realcases where the respective codes were applied), andavailability of documentation. The selected models are listedin a synoptic table showing their key features and fields ofapplication. The publication offers a useful guidance to thosewho are interested in the siting of NPPs and wish to knowmore about the available codes for the modelling of relevantgroundwater phenomena.

Keywords: groundwater flow, contaminant transport,models, radioactive releases, nuclear power.

This interrelation is approached from twoaspects: (i) a semi-empirical simulation procedure whichdescribes the internal relations between the vapour-pressurevariations at the earth’s surface, within the unsaturated near-


13

surface layers and at the cloud base; (ii) an analyticaldescription of the effect of changing the earth’s surfacetemperature on the vertical vapour pressure gradients whichthrows some light on the feedback mechanism linkingevaporation from the earth’s surface and the formation ofprecipitation. Combining the results of the two approaches amacroscale precipitation formula is derived and criteria areformulated for vertical vapour flux equilibrium. Applying thesecriteria, together with simplified solutions of computationaldetails, tentative data on the major constituents of the globalwater-vapour cycle are reconstructed and compared witheach other and with earlier results available for a wide rangeof the greenhouse effect. The application of global andmacroscale water-vapour dynamics in combination with otherapproaches of climate research appear to offer definitepossibilities for future research.

Keywords: greenhouse gases, global and macroscale watervapour dynamics and gradients, atmospheric physics andchemistry.

Enqûete archivistique sur le climat. Par C.Dhérent et G. Petit-Renaud. UNESCO, 1995.Français. (SC.95/WS/23).

La quantité et la fiabilité des données d’observation etautres données disponibles pour l’étude de la variabilité etdes changements climatiques passés et présents sontdéterminantes pour une connaissance du climat placée dansune perspective mondiale. L’utilisation régulière deméthodes scientifiques d’observation des paramètresclimatiques et météorologiques à l’échelle mondiale estrelativement récente. Il est donc nécessaire de compléterces observations en faisant appel à diverses sources dedonnées climatologiques, y compris, par exemple, celles quirésultent de l’examen des anneaux annuels des arbres oudes analyses isotopiques.

Les sources documentaires ont déjà été utilisées de façonsporadique. Les sources écrites sont parfois d’anciennesmesures faites à l’aide d’instruments et les informationsqu’elles fournissent sont donc souvent de nature qualitative.Elles offrent cependant la possibilité d’étudier les fluctuationsclimatiques sur une période remontant au-delà des 100 ansd’observations météorologiques effectuées à la surface duglobe terrestre. Une étude conjointe menée depuis 1990 parplusieurs organisations internationales (CIA, CIUS,UNESCO, OMM) a abouti à la réalisation d’une étuded’archives sur l’histoire du climat. Le présent rapport décritles differentes phases de cette étude, les méthodes derecherche utilisées et les résultats préliminaires obtenusdans une zone circonscrite d’Europe. L’utilisation à des finsclimatologiques des données d’archives est aussi décrite.

Impacts of climate variations on watermanagement and related socio-economicsystems. By A.S. Issar. IHP-IV Project H-2-1.UNESCO, 1995. English. (SC.95/WS/26).

This document synthesizes evidence of climate changeswhich have taken place from the Pleistocene through to theHolocene. The author draws on material from archeology,pollen analysis, historical files, stratigraphy andenvironmental isotopes to reconstruct this synthesis ofclimate change. The author argues that the understanding ofrecent climatic changes is necessary to project possiblefuture trends of present climate systems and for thecalibration of GCMs (General Circulation Models). Themonograph provides a succinct summary of climate changeduring the Holocene and an analysis of possible hydrologicalimpacts in the Circum-Mediterranean region, the Sahara andSahel belt of Africa, Europe, West Asia, North America, andthe Southern Hemisphere.

Keywords: climate change, Holocene, hydrological impacts.

Education of hydraulic engineers. By H. Kobus,E. Plate, H.W. Shen and A. Szöllösi-Nagy. Co-edition UNESCO/IAHR UNESCO, 1996. English.(SC.96/WS/4).

New tasks due to an ever-increasing world population, arapid depletion of many natural resources and indications ofglobal changes (climatic, etc.) are emerging. Thesedevelopments have brought about significant changes in allfields of science and engineering. The InternationalAssociation for Hydraulic Research (IAHR) and UNESCO,through its International Hydrological Programme, thereforesaw a definite need to assess the present and future roles forhydraulic engineers in the service of mankind, and aconsequent need to consider the status of education of thehydraulic engineer of the future. A joint panel wasestablished in 1991 and was charged to describe thefunctions and broadening scope of hydraulic engineering, toindicate present trends of development and to articulate theimplications for education. The present report of this panelalso addresses young people and students for a generalorientation to the profession they are about to enter.

The report was distributed, presented and discussed at aseminar at the XXV Congress of the IAHR in Tokyo, Japan,August 1993. Comments on the report and reactions to aquestionnaire concerning it have been incorporated into thefinal version. The report contains in concentrated form therationale needed by the planners of engineering curricula,from which universities and educational institutions worldwidecan search for that set of objectives which suits eachinstitution and its country best. Of special importance is theattention given to long term global responsibilities,condensed in the concept of sustainability.

Postgraduate activities, continuing education and training(CE+T) in hydrology and water resources management arepart of UNESCO’s mandate. Within the framework of theInternational Hydrological Programme, several courses andother activities have been started and developed withUNESCO’s assistance. In spite of decade-long efforts,continuous training and upgrading of professionals is asactual as ever. New ideas and techniques should beunderstood and implemented by water resource plannersand managers. Environmentally-oriented water resourcesdevelopment, sustainability considerations, integratedresource and demand management and the inherentchallenges of man-made and climate change impacts on thehydrosphere have to be tackled worldwide by well-trainedengineers and scientists. The scope and concepts of CE+Tactivities should be studied carefully and updated to meetever-changing needs, reflecting priorities and educationaltechnology.

The present volume contains contributions from severalcourse organizers and other professionals closely associatedwith CE+T programmes. Information on both past and futurepostgraduate courses is given. These contributions werepresented and discussed during the Workshop onPostgraduate Education in Hydrology, hosted by theAgricultural University of Prague, Czech Republic, from 29 to31 August 1994.

N°5. Fresh groundwater lens recharge,Bonriki, Kiribati. Preliminary Report. By IanWhite. IHP-V Project 6.1. UNESCO, 1996. 34pp. English. (SC.96/WS/49).

Knowledge of the recharge of the fresh groundwater lensesof small, low-lying islands in the humid tropics is essential in


15

managing the sustainable extraction of potable water. Thisdocument pays particular attention to total evapotranspirationfrom coconut trees. Concerning the water balance ofshallow basal aquifers, it is the least well-characterized.Moreover, coconut trees present a management conflict asthey can be used for a variety of products but potentiallyconsume limited potable groundwater. It is suggested thatequilibrium evaporation is the most appropriate upper limit forboth short- and long-term water balances of small coralislands. The document also reviews techniques of directevapotranspiration measurement, but places doubt on thevalue of all of them because of advective effects from nearbyoceans. The only exceptions are the possible use of tracersand stable isotopes, and scintillometry. Another conclusionis that time domain reflectrometry to measure the diurnalchanges in soil water content linked with a simple soil waterbalance model is one of the best approaches to infer totalevaporation losses.

Keywords : fresh groundwater lenses, low-lying atoll islands,evapotranspiration, measurements techniques, scintillometry,time domain reflectrometry.

N°6. Groundwater pollution by sanitation ontropical islands. By Peter Dillon. IHP-V Project6.1. UNESCO, 1997. 34 pp. English.(SC.97/WS/8).

Contamination by sewage threatens the use ofgroundwater as a drinking water supply on small, low-lyingtropical islands. This document provides a review of theextent of groundwater pollution by sanitation systems, thedesign of sanitation systems, the nature of contaminants insewage, their fate in the subsurface environment includingfactors affecting their attenuation, and the methods whichhave been used to study the movement of sewagecontaminants in groundwater. The report concludes with asummary of the options for managing this problem, includingcriteria for establishing common sewerage systems; well-head protection policy options; siting, design andmaintenance of sanitation systems; monitoring proceduresrelated to objectives, treatment of water supplies; and publiceducation and action programmes. These provide a range ofmeasures which can be adapted by local communities tomeet their needs for safe water supplies, and give assuranceof this, at reasonable costs.

N°7. Ecohydrology. A new paradigm for thesustainable use of aquatic resources. Editedby M. Zalewski, G.A. Janauer and G. Jolánkai.IHP-V Projects 2.3/2.4. UNESCO, 1997. 58 pp.English. (SC.97/WS/12).

In line with the objective of helping promote the sustainableuse of environmental resources, a major area in need ofstudy is that of the inter-relationships between mechanismsand processes of water circulation and its biotic as well asabiotic content. The amount of water, its quality and someprocesses in the aquatic environment are not only guided byclimatic factors but also, to a great extent, by biotic factors.The integration, therefore, of the most recent knowledge fromtwo branches of science - hydrology and ecology - seems anappropriate tool to obtain new insight into the inter-relationship between water and biota.

This volume aims to launch a new challenging concept -ecohydrology - in order to create a basis for the sustainabledevelopment of fresh water resources through the integrationof the dynamics of fresh water ecosystems into hydrologicalprocesses.

Keywords: fresh water resources development, water/biotainter-relationships, ecohydrology.

The purpose of this report is to provide a methodologybased (mostly) on fuzzy logic for the efficient use of bothgauged and proxy data in archives dealing withhydroclimatology. The report is divided into two parts: Part 1briefly introduces fuzzy sets, fuzzy numbers and fuzzyoperations. Part 2, subdivided into six sections, presents thevarious facets of the fuzzy logic approach using the Mexicocase study. Section 2.1 introduces the case study and givesthe scope of the applications. Section 2.2 deals with theencoding of errors and uncertainty in gauged records ofextreme events in the 19th century. Section 2.3 deals with themain feature of this report, namely, the encoding of proxydata. Examples include the search for data on floods anddroughts through the 17 sources available in the NationalArchives of Mexico. Section 2.4 provides both statistical andfuzzy methods for the reconstruction of an incomplete timeseries of hydrologic events. Section 2.5 shows how veryimprecise (proxy) data on ENSO events from 1720 to 1909combined with drought information can readily be modelledusing a fuzzy number representation. Section 2.6 showshow fuzzy and non-fuzzy (reliable/gauged) data may becombined, using essentially a fuzzy rule-based approach, toyield drought indices and excess precipitation indices.

To maintain water quality, a more efficient approach thanpurely technical control must be based on the understandingof the temporal and spatial patterns of catchment-scale waterdynamics. These patterns are determined by fourfundamental components: climate, geomorphology, plantcover/biota dynamics and anthropogenic modifications.

Recent and ongoing research has greatly increased ourunderstanding of hydrological dynamics and, in parallel,biotic and biogeochemical dynamics in freshwaterecosystems and land/water ecotones. The integration of theabove components in a holistic model should significantlyexpand the repertory of management tools which can beapplied to freshwater resources.

This publication presents the scope of activities which hasbeen developed in the framework of IHP-V Projects 2.3/2.4on Ecohydrology.

Keywords : mesoscale catchment management,water quality/quantity management, river classification andrehabilitation, effects of flows, historical dynamics of rivervalley, application and implementation.

N°24. Will water be enough, will food beenough? By P. Vakkilainen and O. Varis.UNESCO, 1999. 38 pp. English. (SC.99/WS/ 37).

Water and food, food and water – this seemingly unevencouple cannot be separated. There are regions in the worldwith abundant water resources but without food demand orfood productions; similarly there are other regions which lackwater but have high demands in food. The problem is notnew; ancient cultures were as prosperous as their ability wasto master the water supply and to create a system whichtoday would be called an ecological equilibrium. History isfull of examples of grand civilizations, their emergence anddecay reflecting the success and failure of land and waterdevelopment.

The present study firstly investigates the potential for foodproduction, in the future, at both global and regional scales.Case studies throw light on particular solutions for water-foodissues and depict the interrelationships of many factors:population, climate, land use, water availability and demand,water quality, cultural and socio-economic constraints. Anattempt is made to assess the possibilities of putting modern


18

techniques such as water-saving practices, recycling, watertransfer and agricultural innovations to use. The reportoutlines the scientific foundation on which future policies andfuture economies should be based. It calls for improvementsin land-use techniques, better coordination of agriculture,education, industry and trade, all within more efficientpolitical systems.

This document is a contribution of the IHP NationalCommittee of Finland to IHP-V Project 4.2 Comprehensiveenvironmental risk and impact assessment. Beyond thisassociation with IHP, the present report, with its in-depthanalysis of food security and its interactions with waterresources, can be seen as a contribution to the ongoingdeliberations on “Water and Food” within the Long TermVision for Water, Life and the Environment.

As part of a UNESCO-IHP/SOPAC study of rainwaterrecharge of a freshwater lens in a water reserve at Bonriki,Tarawa Atoll, Republic of Kiribati, this study examines theissued involved in the establishment and management ofwater reserves. Bonriki was selected because of the severepressures on groundwater and land resources in urban SouthTarawa, the capital of Kiribati. The aim of this component ofthe project was to involve the local community in the project,to identify local socio-cultural issues in land, groundwatermanagement and ownership, particularly under variablerainfalls, and to determine concerns of local landownersabout the study.

N°26. Droughts in small coral islands: Casestudy, South Tarawa, Kiribati. By I. White, T.Falkland and D. Scott. UNESCO, 1999. 55 pp.English. (SC.99/WS/50).

Droughts are frequent events in small coral islands andsmall island nations across the Indian and Pacific Oceans.Many of these are correlated with El Niño-La Niña events.Limited water storages on small islands mean that domesticwater supplies are severely threatened by these dry periods.In this work, meteorological or climatological drought is usedto define drought relevant to domestic water supplies. SouthTarawa, the capital of the Republic of Kiribati, is used as acase study. It is argued that drought depends on thecharacteristics of the water sources. Three sources of waterare identified – rain tanks, domestic water wells andreticulated water supplied from large freshwater lenses andthese need to be treated separately for drought declaration.

N°28. Interbasin water transfer. Proceedingsof the International Workshop, UNESCO, Paris,25-27 April 1999. UNESCO, 1999. 230 pp.Trilingual: Reports in English/French/Spanish.

Interbasin water transfer (IWT) has a long history as ameans of addressing water scarcity in one region bytransporting additional supplies from areas where water isrelatively more abundant. The International Workshop wasplanned as a forum for sharing of experiences with IWT anddiscussing the many associated issues from a diversity ofviewpoints. The proceedings are a compilation ofpresentations made at the workshop and statementsprepared by participants.

The agenda for the International Workshop consisted ofpresentations on a series of case studies of IWTs, followedby presentations from a panel to initiate discussion of arange of related issues. The case studies, whilerepresenting a diversity of transfer experiences, tended tofocus on transfer of water into urban areas in support ofcontinuing urban development. One of the case studies, anda major focal point of interest at the workshop, was aproposed water transfer from the Languedoc-Roussillonregion of France to the Catalonia region of Spain.

Discussions at the International Workshop and theresulting proceedings reflect the long operational history ofIWT. A workshop examines a particular subject at a specificpoint in time in terms of collective operational experience todetermine its current status and identify problems andopportunities likely to affect future prospects. Workshops ontopics with relatively short societal involvement and limitedoperational histories tend to focus on physical feasibility andother basic aspects. Those on more mature topicsconcentrate on broader societal aspects rather than technicalfeasibility. IWT falls into this latter category. Consistent withthe maturity of IWT and extensive prior analysis in otherforums, discussions of the International Workshopconcentrated on broad social concerns. The issue was not


19

the technical feasibility of IWT proposals but the question ofthe desirability of shared water management of resources inadjacent basins, in light of potential socio-economic, cultural,and environmental implications and benefits.

Keywords: interbasin water transfer, sharing ofwater resources, water management and sustainability,water ethics, water crisis.

N°31. River basin management. Proceedingsof the International Workshop, The Hague, TheNetherlands, 27-29 October 1999. Edited by E.Mostert. IHP-V Project 4.1. UNESCO, 2000.275 pages. English.

River basin management is one of the biggest challengesof the 21st century. River basins sustain ecosystems, are theparamount source of water for households, agriculture andindustry, and fulfil many non-consumptive uses. Yet, due topopulation growth and overexploitation, the demands on riverbasins are increasing and the basins’ capacity to meet thesedemands is decreasing. In this context, the InternationalWorkshop on River Basin Management was held in TheHague, Netherlands, from 27-29 October 1999. The mainobjective of the workshop was to contribute to thepreparations of the Ministerial Conference, held in TheHague on 21-22 March 2000, parallel to the Second WorldWater Forum. As river basin management was a key issueat this Conference, it was considered opportune to bringtogether experts from all over the world to discuss theirexperiences with river basin management and develop a setof recommendations and guidelines.

The workshop participants adopted the Recommendationsand Guidelines on Sustainable River Basin Management.The recommendations and guidelines were subsequentlyused in preparing the brochure Towards Sustainable RiverBasin Management: Recommendations and Guidelines onBest Management Practices, produced in the context of theSecond World Water Forum and Ministerial Conference bythe Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and theEnvironment and the Ministry of Transport, Public Works andWater Management, in co-operation with the Ministry ofAgriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries, the National

Institute of Public Health and the Environment, the UNEPCo-ordination Office of the Global Programme of Action forthe Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-basedActivities, and the River Basin Administration (RBA) of theDelft University of Technology.

This report constitutes the proceedings of the workshop. Itcontains the opening addresses, the Recommendations andGuidelines, all keynote papers and most other writtencontributions. The annexes contain the list of participants,the workshop programme and the composition of theorganizing committee. The brochure Towards SustainableRiver Basin Management was published separately by theDutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and theEnvironment.

Keywords: river basin management, integratedmanagement, international river basins, water crisis, waterlaw, international co-operation, recommendations andguidelines for river basin management.

N°38. An overview of selected policydocuments on water resources managementthat contributed to the design of HELP.UNESCO, 2000. 52 pp. English. (SC-2000/WS/39)

This publication summarizes various recent policydocuments and international conference reports on thesubject of water resources management. Many of thesedocuments stress the urgent need for action to addressdeclining global water security. Since the 1990s, there havebeen various high profile meetings on global water resourcesmanagement, each seeking to develop better practices forimproving declining global water security. However, thesemeetings have not resulted in any follow-up scientificprogramme that would address, in a field context, theintegration of the necessary technological response withpolicy and management considerations. In fact, as readersmay notice, many of the documents reviewed herein do notrecommend concrete approaches or actions for tacklingemerging water resources issues. Unfortunately, there is atraditional separation between the water policy-makers/watermanagement community and the scientific community. Thisgap has led to a new global initiative entitled HELP(Hydrology for the Environment, Life and Policy) which seeksto integrate the three communities of scientists, policy-makers, and water managers in order to achieve bettermanagement of world water resources.

Although not comprehensive, as it reviews only samplingof documents on the water management issue, the presentpublication aims to serve as a reference work for scientists,water managers, and policy-makers, who are the key actors

in global water resources management. Parts of thisdocument was presented to the HELP Task Force(established by the Fifth UNESCO/WMO InternationalConference on Hydrology in February 1999) for consultationduring their development of The Design and ImplementationStrategy of the HELP Initiative (HELP Task Force: 2000).

N°39. Environmental isotopes in thehydrological cycle: Principles andapplications. Volumes I to VI. Edited by WillemG. Mook. UNESCO/IAEA, 2000-2001.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) andUNESCO have established a close co-operation within theframework of both the earlier International HydrologicalDecade (IHP, 1965-1974) and the ongoing IHP in the specificaspects of scientific and methodological developmentsrelated to water resources that are of mutual interest to theprogrammes of both organizations. In view of the fact thatthe IHP’s objectives also include a multi-disciplinaryapproach to the assessment and rational management ofwater resources and taking note of the advances made inisotope hydrology, the IAEA and UNESCO have initiated ajoint activity in the preparation of a series of six up-to-datetextbooks, covering the entire field of hydrologicalapplications of natural isotopes (environmental isotopes) tothe overall domain of water resources and relatedenvironmental studies.

The main aim of this series is to provide a comprehensivereview of basic theoretical concepts and principles of isotopehydrology methodologies and their practical applications withsome illustrative examples. The volumes are designed to beself-sufficient reference material for scientists and engineersinvolved in research and/or practical applications of isotopehydrology as an integral part of the investigations related towater resources assessment, development andmanagement. Furthermore, they are also expected to serveas 'teaching material' or text books to be used in universitiesand teaching institutions for incorporating the study of"isotopes in water" in general into the curriculum of the earthsciences. Additionally, the contents can fulfil the need forbasic knowledge in other disciplines of the earth sciencesdealing with water in general.

Vol. I. Introduction: Theory, Methods, Review.By Willem G. Mook. UNESCO/IAEA, 2000. 280pp., figs., tables. English. (SC-2000/WS/58).

The first volume in the series, "Introduction: Theory,Methods, Review", is the result of a re-orientation and in partextension of the lecture notes used by the author during histeaching years on Isotope Hydrology at the Free University ofAmsterdam. After an introductory chapter on the hydrologicalcycle, this volume contains the principles of radioactivity andof the isotope effects for stable isotopes. The elements ofhydrogen, carbon and oxygen are treated in detail as theyform the 'heart' of isotopic applications in the water cycle.

Keywords: environmental isotopes, hydrologicalcycle, radioactivity, atomic systematics, hydrogen, carbon,oxygen, carbonic acid in water

Vol. II. Atmospheric water. By J.R. Gat, W.G.Mook and H.A.J. Meijer. UNESCO/IAEA, 2001.113 pp., figs., tables. English. (SC-2001/WS/38).

The changes in the isotopic composition of water in thewater cycle occur primarily during the passage of water intoand through the atmosphere. The specific isotopic signaturesengendered by these processes are then imprinted on the

terrestrial water bodies, forming the basis for the manyapplications of isotopes in hydrological studies. A detailedunderstanding of the complex and changing processesinvolved is thus a necessary pre-condition for the use of thistool in studies of present and past climatic systems.

However, considering the variability and changeability ofthe atmosphere, the database for describing the atmosphericisotopic composition is very limited, being based mainly onlong-term precipitation samples. Our concepts thus have torely to a large degree on the physical models of theatmosphere and the anticipated isotope fractionation relatedto the atmospheric processes.

This volume presents both the theoretical and theempirical aspects of the atmospheric part of the water cycle.It is hoped that the readers will be able to identify gaps in ourknowledge of the system and incorporate steps in theirrespective projects to narrow down these gaps by judiciouslydesigned measurements and observations.

Keywords: environmental isotopes, hydrologicalcycle, atmospheric water, evaporation, precipitation, tritium,atmospheric carbon dioxide, atmospheric oxygen.

Vol. III. Surface water. By K. Rozanski, K.Froehlich and W.G. Mook. UNESCO/IAEA, 2001.117 pp., figs., tables. English. (SC-2001/WS/38).

The third volume in the series of textbooks on theenvironmental isotopes in the hydrological cycle deals withsurface water. From man’s perspective, this is perhaps themost visible and most accessible part of the globalhydrological cycle. Indeed, development of human civilizationover the past millennia was always intimately linked toavailability of water; civilizations flourished and died in therhythm of climatic cycles controlling availability andabundance of freshwater in many parts of the world.

This series of 6 volumes are meant to be in first instancetextbooks helping young people to apply environmentalisotope methodologies in addressing various practicalproblems related to the hydrological cycle. Practicalapproach was adopted also throughout Volume III. Threecore chapters of this volume (Chapter 2, 3 and 4) deal withrivers, estuaries and lake systems, respectively. Systematicpresentation of possibilities offered by various isotope tracersin addressing questions related to the dynamics of surfacewater systems, their interaction with groundwater andvulnerability to pollution is pursued throughout those twochapters. Practical hints and suggestions are given how tocarry on environmental isotope investigation. The volumecloses with an outlook to future of surface water systems inthe light of anticipated global warming induced bygreenhouse gases.

Keywords: environmental isotopes, hydrologicalcycle, surface water, rivers, estuaries and the sea, lakes andreservoirs, climatic change

Vol. IV. Groundwater: Saturated andunsaturated zone. By Mebus Geyh.UNESCO/IAEA, 2000. 196 pp., figs., tables.English. (SC-2000/WS/59).

This volume deals with the application of isotopehydrological methods in groundwater studies. It conveysbasic knowledge in geohydraulics and hydrogeology requiredfor a consistent interpretation of isotope hydrological data.

The volume starts with a brief discussion of thecharacteristics and behavior of groundwater as a medium ofmass transport for gases, dissolved constituents andcolloids. The geohydraulic aspects of groundwater flow understeady-state conditions are described in combination with anexplanation of the most important terms related to isotopehydrology (e.g., transit time, turn-over time, mean residencetime, water age). Non-steady state flow conditions caused bypalaeoclimatic variations and anthropogenic activities suchas overexploitation or groundwater mining seriously affect the


22

interpretation of isotope hydrological data. In addition, water-rock interactions may modify the isotope composition of acarbonate rock environment, especially in high-temperaturesystems.

Environmental isotope techniques are pre-eminentlysuitable for studying the unsaturated and saturated zone, thelatter particularly concerning the stable and radioactivenatural isotopes. Stable isotope data preferentially yieldinformation on the origin of groundwater. Radioactiveisotopes allow groundwater to be 'dated' in support ofgeohydraulic investigations. In undisturbed high-temperaturesystems isotopic geothermometry is applied for gaininginformation on water mixing as well as the origin and historyof fluids. Anthropogenic changes due to steam loss,underground liquid-vapor separation and the impact of re-injection of waste water are also traced by the isotopiccomposition of geothermal fluids. A brief outline is also givenon the planning and performance of environmental multi-isotope studies, as well as the interpretation of thecorresponding results.

Keywords: environmental isotopes, hydrologicalcycle, groundwater, tracers and transport, water-rockinteractions, saturated zone, unsaturated zone, groundwaterdating

Vol. V. Man’s impact on groundwatersystems. By Klaus-Peter Seiler.UNESCO/IAEA, 2001. 105 pp., figs. tables.English. (SW-2001/WS/3).

Water is an essential component of ecosystems andman’s health. As the world population is growing, the needfor more food, man’s shift to urban areas and the progressiveindustrialization all affect water resources in a qualitative andquantitative way. Since water resources react on changes ofland and water use with a long delay time, man’s activitiesshould be better adapted to basic hydrodynamic conditions inorder to better satisfy the needs of a safe drinking watersupply, flood protection, as well as food and industrialproduction. It is well known that remediation techniques ofwater resources imply costly but crucial efforts with often lowefficiency to restore the health of ecosystems and to providea healthy water supply on the basis of existing guidelines. Toavoid such efforts fundamental and process-orientedresearch on the physical, chemical, microbial and hydraulicbehavior of water resources must advance to provideeffective and long-term strategies of water resourcesprotection.

In many areas of the world, relevant long-term data onwater resources are missing. The traditional and isotopemethods in combination with mathematical modelling, oftenanswer pressing questions about groundwater origin,chemical reactions, fluxes, ages and mixing processesoccurring in reservoirs. Only on this basis can relevantstrategies for exploration, exploitation and protection ofsubsurface water be developed.

This volume aims to demonstrate how the choice ofapplying combined disciplines and methods should be madein the case of specific, man-made perturbations of thenatural environment.

Keywords: environmental isotopes, hydrologicalcycle, groundwater systems, aquifer systems, exploitationand overexploitation, pollution susceptibility, contaminantsources, irrigation and impact on groundwater quality,percolation, urbanization impact on groundwater, MolasseBasin (Germany), Valenci Lake and Caracas (Venezuela).

Vol. VI. Modelling. Co-ordinating Editor: YuecelYurtsever. UNESCO/IEAE, 2001. 127 pp., figs.tables. English. (SC-2001/WS/4).

This last volume in the series of textbooks onenvironmental isotopes in the hydrological cycle provides an

overview of the basic principles of existing conceptualformulations of modelling approaches. While some of theconcepts provided in Chapters 2 and 3 are of general validityfor quantitative interpretation of isotope data, the modellingmethodologies commonly employed for incorporating isotopedata into evaluations specifically related to groundwatersystems are given in this volume together with someillustrative examples.

Development of conceptual models for quantitativeinterpretations of isotope date in hydrogeology and theassessment of their limitations and field verification havebeen given priority in the research and development efforts ofthe IAEA during the last decade. Several Co-ordinatedResearch Projects on this specific topic were implementedand results published by the IAEA. Based on these effortsand contributions made by a number of scientists involved inthis specific field, the IEAE has published two TechnicalDocuments entitled “Mathematical models and theirapplications to isotope studies in groundwater studies – IAEATECDOC-777, 1994” and “Manual on mathematical modelsin isotope hydrogeology – IAEA TECDOC-910, 1996”.Results of a recently completed Co-ordinated ResearchProject entitled “Use of isotopes for analysis of flow andtransport dynamics in groundwater systems” will be soonpublished by the IAEA. This is the reason why the IAEA wasinvolved in the co-ordination required for preparation of thisvolume; the material presented is a condensed overviewprepared by some of the scientists that were involved in theabove-cited activities.

The three-volume series on “Urban drainage in specificclimates” is published within the framework of Theme 7:Integrated urban water management, Project 7.3 Integratedurban drainage modelling in different climates: tropical, aridand semi-arid and cold of the Fifth Phase of UNESCO’sInternational Hydrological Programme. The three volumes ofthe series address urban drainage aspects in the humidtropics (Vol I), in cold climates (Vol II) and in arid and semi-arid climates (Vol III). The series is produced under the co-ordinating role of the regional subcentres for particularclimates of IRTCUD (International Research and TrainingCentre on Urban Drainage), an organization establishedunder the auspices of UNESCO.

Vol. I. Urban drainage in humid tropics.Edited by Carlos E.M. Tucci. UNESCO/IRTCUD,2001. 240 pp., figs., tables. English. (SC-2001/WS/11).

The emphasis of this volume is on cities in developingcountries of the humid tropics, responding to two overridingfactors: (1) the overwhelming majority of cities in this climaticzone are located in developing countries, particularly thelargest and the fastest growing ones; and (2) the general lackinformation and guidelines on urban drainage there makes itan urgent task to disseminate existing experience andknowledge. Urban development of the cities in thesecountries is one of major challenges of the 21st century andthe adoption of sound urban drainage practices is a keyfactor in the improvement of the quality of life for thepopulation in these regions. The goal of this volume is todescribe and systematize the already existing knowledgeregarding urban drainage in the humid tropics and to provideguidelines in this respect.

Vol. III. Urban drainage in arid and semi-aridclimates. Edited by M. Nouh.UNESCO/IRTCUD, 2001. 150 pp., figs., tables.English. (SC-2001/WS/43).

This volume deals with urban drainage in arid and semi-arid climates. The editor of this volume is Prof. MamdouhNouh of Sharjah University, United Arab Emirates, having leda team of 13 leading international experts in the preparationof this volume. Chapter 1 is an introductory chapter commonto the three volumes, giving a general overview of urbandrainage principles and practice. Chapter 2 discusses thespecific climate features affecting the hydrologiccharacteristics of arid and semi-arid areas. It points to thelow, highly variable, rainfall, high evaporation rates, and thesparseness of vegetation and to the main features of aridzone landscapes. Chapter 3 emphasizes the effect of suchcharacteristics on urban drainage, showing that manyproblems originate from the application of traditional methodsof design developed in other climatic zones. Chapter 4describes the various factors affecting runoff prediction anddesign of urban facilities. Common methods of estimatingdesign rainfall and runoff are also reviewed and discussed.Chapter 5 addresses important issues related to urbanstormwater pollution. Due to the dry conditions and reducedvegetation in arid areas, higher pollutant concentrations and

loads during stormwater events occur in these areas. Theimportance of monitoring of stormwater quality whereaccurate estimates of pollutant loads are required isunderlined. Chapter 6 discusses the state-of-the art of thetraditional methods of urban drainage in arid and semiaridregions, both for small and large catchments. Chapter 7proposes sustainable solutions for urban drainage problemsin arid and semiarid regions, using, for instance, techniquesof rainwater harvesting in the urbanized areas and adoptingthe methods of water spreading over the infiltrating surface ofcatchments. Chapter 8 reviews practices of maintenanceand management of urban stormwater drainage appropriatefor arid and semiarid regions. Chapter 9 describes the casestudies dealing with: (i) the effects of dust storms onstormwater quality, (ii) stormwater hydrograph prediction inarid catchments using the Storm Water Management Model(SWMM), and (iii) effect of urbanization on hydrographcomponents and on runoff water quality.

Au fil des siècles, les Africaines ont ainsi accumuléun impressionnant trésor de connaissances et de savoir-fairesur l’environnement et la santé. Elles assument très souventelles-mêmes la charge et l’éducation des enfants tout en lesassociant aux activités qui leur permettent d’assurer la survieéconomique de toute leur famille. Très souvent aussi,diverses circonstances (crises économiques, écologiques etpolitiques) obligent les femmes à devenir à part entière devéritables chefs de famille, notamment lorsque les hommessont contraints de s’expatrier vers les villes ou des paysvoisins dans l’espoir de trouver un emploi.

Les exemples concrets offerts dans ce manuel ont pourbut d’aider les femmes et les enfants à devenir les moteursd’une meilleure protection de leur environnement contre lesrisques associés à l’eau. Les méthodes proposées dans cemanuel sont basées sur le principe de l’éducation active.L’approche est globale afin de stimuler l’imagination et lacréativité, l’esprit d’initiative et le sens des responsabilitésnon seulement des femmes, mais aussi des hommes, carces deux groupes constituent chacun la moitié de l’espècehumaine. L’orientation de ce manuel, «apprendre en faisant», est résolument pratique dans l’espoir de stimulerl’interaction des hommes et des femmes – et le dialogueentre les experts en hydrologie, les décideurs et lespopulations féminines. Le rôle de ces dernières est essentielpour construire l’avenir de l’Afrique sub-saharienne.

Ce manuel a pour ambition de sensibiliser une audienceaussi large que possible à tout ce qui touche de près ou deloin à l’eau. L’eau est le miroir vivant du statut social etsanitaire des femmes de l’Afrique sub-saharienne.Aujourd’hui, nul ne peut plus ignorer l’amplitude et ladiversité des problèmes que les populations fémininesdoivent encore y affronter, mais il est tout aussi important desavoir que ces problèmes ont des solutions.

N°43. Integration of social and technicalscience in groundwater monitoring andmanagement. Groundwater pollution study onLifuka, Ha’apai, Tonga. Recharge study onBonriki, South Tarawa, Kiribati. By L. Crennan.IHP-V Theme 6. UNESCO, 2001. 50 pp., figs.English. (SC-2001/WS/6).

This paper describes a groundwater pollution study on theisland of Lifuka in the Kingdom of Tonga, in a village whereprivate wells are an important source of water, in addition todependence on household rainwater tanks and a publicreticulated system. Comparison is also made with thefindings of a groundwater recharge project, which wasundertaken on the island of Tarawa in the Republic ofKiribati, Central Pacific, where a reticulated groundwatersystem, sourced from a government controlled waterreserve, was the primary focus of the study.

Both projects aimed to increase the understanding andeffective management of groundwater resources and bothprojects encountered the often conflicting priorities ofenvironmental conservation and human need. However, fromthe investigations, it may eventually be perceived thatchanges in behavior which protect the natural resource willalso sustain human welfare.

The groundwater pollution study in Tonga and thegroundwater recharge study in Kiribati were conducted withinthe framework of the IHP Humid Tropics Programme, andwere two of the three field projects recommended at theworkshop on Pacific Water Sector Planning, Research andTraining in Honiara, Solomon Islands in June 1994. Theprojects were reviewed and updated at the UNESCO/SOPACWater Resources Workshop at USP, Suva, Fiji in July 1997.

N°45. Frontiers in urban water management:Deadlock or hope? / Frontières de la gestionde l’eau urbaine: Impasse ou espoir?Proceedings of the International Symposium /Actes du Symposium international. 18-20 June /juin 2001, Marseille, France. Edited by / Sous ladirection de : José Alberto Tejada-Guibert, CedoMaksimovic. UNESCO, 2001. 364 pp., figs.,tables. Bilingual: English/French. (SC-2001/WS/10).

The International Symposium “Frontiers of urban watermanagement: Deadlock or hope?” (Marseille, 18-20 June2001) represents a unique opportunity to assess the currentstatus of urban water systems in various settings around theworld and to explore various approaches, proposals andtechnologies that hold promise in facing the shortcomings.The nature and gravity of the urban water problems in thedeveloping countries is such that they warrant our immediateattention. The aim is not only finding ways to cope and tohold off an impending collapse, but to provide sustainabilityand improve the quality of life of the urban population, whilesafeguarding the well-being of all members of society.

This Symposium, organized by UNESCO and theAcadémie de l’Eau de France, with the support of the City ofMarseille and of the Secretariat of the World Water Council,represents the culmination of the activities related to thetheme Integrated Urban Water Management of the FifthPhase (1996-2001) of the International HydrologicalProgramme (IHP) of UNESCO.

This volume holds the papers selected to be presentedorally at the six workshops of the Symposium, and theabstracts of the papers accepted for poster presentations. Inevaluating the papers submitted to the Symposium, theScientific Advisory Committee assessed the quality of thepapers, coverage of topics and geographical distribution ofauthors. Some of the keynote papers and workshop paperswere not available when this volume had to be submitted tothe printer, so have they not been included here.Nevertheless, the companion CD-ROM contains the full setof papers, including those of the posters.

N°46. Ecohydrology – Science and thesustainable management of tropical waters. Asummary of the projects presented to theConference, Naivasha, Kenya, 11-16 April 1999.Edited by David Harper and Maciej Zalewski.IHP-V Projects 2.3/2.4. UNESCO, 2001. 126pp., illus., fig., tables. English. (SC-2001/WS/17).

The management of waters in the tropics is beset bydifficulties more severe than those in the temperate zones.The moist tropics – wet rainforests and high altitude areas –experience a surplus of water which is distant from humansettlement use, and as a consequence water systems arerelatively natural but their problems relate to reservoir andriver regulation schemes. The arid tropics, in contrast, areoften those areas where human development isconcentrated, increasing pressure upon limited natural watercycles and water stores through pollution and regulation aswell as creating new ones.

The range of papers presented here illustrate not only theproblems inherent in the management of tropical waters butalso the additional work which is necessary to putecohydrological principles in place. Furthermore, theyillustrate the progress which is being made towards a holistic


25

style of management of water systems and demonstrate theextent to which ecohydrology can help in long-termsustainable management solutions.

N°47. Ecohydrology – Hydrological andgeochemical processes in large river basins.A summary of the projects presented to theInternational Symposium, Manaus, Brazil, 15-19November 1999. Edited by Michael McClain andMaciej Zalewski. IHP-V Projects 2.3/2.4.UNESCO, 2001. 46 pp., illus., fig., tables.English. (SC-2001/WS/18).

The Earth’s large tropical rivers present a unique set ofchallenges and opportunities for scientists and resourcemanagers. Located mainly in developing nations, tropicalrivers are often receptacles for large quantities of untreatedwastes from domestic and industrial sources. Financiallimitations and ineffective enforcement of laws precludeproper wastewater treatment and, in many cases, alsopreclude treatment of water taken from rivers and intendedfor human use. Consequently, waterborne illness is a severeproblem in many developing nations, and aquatic resourcesin general continue to decline in quality. Costly engineeringand capital-intensive solutions to these problems areimpractical today and are likely to remain impractical fordecades. On the other hand, historically low investment inriver engineering projects has left many tropical rivers in amore or less natural state with regard to channel form andhydrological flow regime. This is particularly true in thehumid tropics. Many tropical rivers also retain much of theiroriginal biodiversity, which when combined with a natural flowregime forms an integrated system with sometimesastounding abilities for self-purification. Dilution, oxidation,aeration, filtration, acid neutralization and sedimentation areall water treatment practices that occur naturally in intactriver systems. Thus the opportunity presented by manytropical rivers is to capitalize on these intrinsic purificationabilities and to incorporate them explicitly into watermanagement programmes.

Understanding the integration of biotic and physicalprocesses in river systems and applying this understandingto improve water management are core objectives of theUNESCO/IHP Ecohydrology Programme (IH-V Projects2.3/2.4). The 28 projects featured in this document stemfrom a symposium entitled “Hydrological and GeochemicalProcesses in Large Scale River Basins” and convened 15-19November 1999 in Manaus, Brazil. UNESCO/IHP sponsoreda special session of the symposium devoted to the subject ofecohydrology.

N°48. Public participation in the design oflocal strategies for flood mitigation andcontrol. By B. Affeltranger. IHP-V Themes 4and 7. UNESCO, 2001. 82 pp. English. (SC-2001/WS/16).

The production of this Technical Report was undertakenwithin the framework of the Fifth Phase of IHP (1996-2001),addressing issues of public participation in floodmanagement pertinent to Theme 4: Strategies for waterresources management in emergency and conflictingsituations and to Theme 7: Integrated urban watermanagement. This report is also presented as a UNESCOcontribution to the follow-up activities of the United NationsInternational Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (1990-2000).

It is the purpose of this document to provide guidelineson public participation and community involvement to waterprofessionals and planners responsible for the formulation ofintegrated flood control policies and for their implementation.The involvement of the general public in water-relateddecision-making processes, especially with view toimplementing integrated water management, is no longer anew concept and is being practiced today in many countries,especially in the West. Yet, the difficult and complexinvolvement of stakeholders in decision-making processesaddressing to flood control policies and planning, especiallyat local level, has not be fully appreciated everywhere bywater experts and practitioners. In the last decades, therehave been important results achieved in both research andaction in the field of public participation in water management(PPWM), an illustration of which could be found in the richexchanges and proceedings of the Budapest conference onPPWM (a satellite conference to the World Conference onScience), that took place in June 1999.

This document seeks to: a) present the reasons foradvocating a stronger involvement of the general public inflood-related decision-making processes, b) discuss theconditions making such an involvement feasible in practice,and c) illustrate with case studies the different aspects ofpublic participation in the design of local strategies for floodmitigation and management.

N°50. Guidelines on non-structural measuresin urban flood management. By I. Andjelkovic.IHP-V Project 7.1 UNESCO, 2001. 87 pp.English.

These Guidelines have been prepared within theframework of the Fifth Phase of UNESCO’s InternationalHydrologic Programme as a contribution to Theme 7:


26

Integrated Urban Water Management, Project 7.1 Non-structural flood control measures to balance risk-cost-benefitin flood control management in urban areas. Flooding incities originates from extreme high flows and stages in majorneighboring rivers as a result of extreme area-widemeteorological disturbances, as well as from local severethunderstorms occurring over the urbanized areas. Thisdocument takes into account the physical damages and theconsequences of pollution caused by urban flooding.

The primary target audience for these Guidelines isgovernment professionals at all levels engaged in theplanning and implementation of flood mitigation programmes.Consulting engineers, urban planners, educators andlegislators may also find this document interesting and usefulfor widening the scope of their work.

The purpose of the Guidelines is to offer a set ofcomplementary approaches to already well-knownengineering, structural measures, rather than to proposeready-made solutions. Flood mitigation is a site-specificdiscipline, institutionalized through local governments andfounded on integrated, multidisciplinary consideration ofvarious concepts, measures, and technique. It aims towardsflooding control solutions that satisfy the requirements ofenvironmental and economic sustainability. It requires publicparticipation based on an ongoing development of publicawareness as well as on the evaluation of the pastexperience.

While there is a widespread perception that water hasbeen the cause of armed conflicts between nations, and that

“water wars” are likely to become more prevalent in thefuture, history tells us otherwise. Water has been more abasis for co-operation between neighboring nations than acause for wars. The statement that the wars of the future aregoing to be fought over water has permeated the publicutterances of politicians, thus helping to dramatize in thepublic eye this exaggerated picture of water conflicts.UNESCO has undertaken to examine the issue ofinternational water conflicts and co-operation in a scientificmanner. In this regard, a working group on “InternationalWater Systems: Conflicts, Results, Techniques” was set upunder IHP. The Workshop “Negotiation Over Water:Conflicts, Results, Techniques” and these Proceedings areamong its products.

This document has been prepared by a number of expertsfrom the Arab region aiming at disseminating theirexperiences with respect to research and development,lessons learned and best procedures for selected aquifers inthe region. The initiative behind the preparation of thisdocument is vehicled by the UNESCO Cairo Office as aresult of recommendations made by the Arab countries. Thedocument is the first in a series of documents aimed atsupporting decisions and actions related to groundwaterprotection in the region. The main aquifers identified (as firstpriority) for research and development are:

regional non-renewable aquifers with deep groundwaterwhich are generally subjected to over-exploitation;

coastal aquifers, which are subjected to saline waterintrusion and upconing;

wadi aquifers, which consist major resources to theregion; and

local aquifers subjected to pollution due to recharge withnon-conventional water.

This document contains relevant experiences of someArab countries in research and development, includinglessons learned and proposed procedures.

N°55. Hydrology of wadi systems. IHP Networkon Wadi Hydrology in the Arab Region. Edited byH. Wheater and R.A. Al-Weshah. UNESCO,2002. 162 pp., figs., illus. English. (SC-2002/WS/33).

Wadi Hydrology has emerged as a distinct scientific areawithin the last decade, due mainly to the initiative of anumber of individuals within and outside the Arab region, andthe active support of UNESCO, assisted by the Arab LeagueEducational, Cultural and Scientific Organization(ALECSO)and the Arab Center for Studies of Arid Zones and Dry Lands(ACSAD).This publication has arisen from a UNESCO initiative todevelop a programme in Wadi Hydrology for the Arab region,leading to an improved science base and appropriatedecision support tools for the integrated management of wadisystems. This programme has been developed through aseries of regional workshops, and has led, for example, tointernational training programmes, an internationalconference (Sharm el Sheikh, 2000), and the formulation of


27

an international Wadi Hydrology Network to provide highquality data and a test-bed for the development ofappropriate tools for modelling and analysis.

The aim of this publication is to summarize the scientific,technical and management issues associated with theintegrated management of Wadi systems. This study isimplemented by UNESCO Cairo Office under the activities ofthe Arab Network in Wadi Hydrology established in 1996 inco-operation with ALECSO and ACSAD. All articlespresented in this book peer reviewed.

N°56. Non-structural measures for watermanagement. Proceedings of the InternationalWorkshop (London, Ontario, Canada, 18 – 20October 2001). Edited by S.P. Simonovic.UNESCO, 2002. 307 pp., figs., tables, illus.English. (SC-2002/WS/34).

Non-structural measures are an attractive alternative andaddition to structural measures that may reduce the loss oflife and property caused by water-related problems. Themain objective of the workshop was to identify the role ofnon-structural measures in sustained set of actions thatimprove society’s capacity to, anticipate, mitigate, withstandand recover from water-related problems. Recent waterresources management is emphasizing a more integratedapproach including measures such as insurance, forecasting,warning and land use planning. The advent of non-structuralmeasures can be viewed within the wider context of the needfor the development of more hazard effective and sustainablerelationships with the environment in an era of integratedwater resources management.

This set of Proceedings is intended to serve as a keysource of reference not only for water researchers inacademia and professionals, including practitioners andpolicy makers in agencies, consultancy and governmentdepartments, but also to everyone concerned withcomprehensive water resources management and the rolethat non-structural measures can play in the future.

Keywords: non-structural measures, water-relatedproblems, water resources management, data and computer-based methodologies, forecasting, flood protection andsustainability, flood management, municipal stormwatermanagement, extreme events, water pricing, irrigation watermanagement, modelling of extreme hydrologic processes,real-time hydrological forecasting, demand management,non-structural flood alleviation measures

N°57. Expert review workshop on DataSynthesis System (DSS) for Pan-African waterresources. Workshop Report (Cairo, Egypt, 11-12 April 2002). UNESCO, 2002. 36 pp. English.(SC-2002/WS/31).

An expert review workshop on the Data Synthesis System(DSS) for Pan-African water resources was held on April 11-12, 2002 in Cairo, Egypt, with 11 regional experts from theAfrican and Arab regions, representatives fromUNESCO/IHP, FAO, UNECA, SADC, WWAP and technicalfacilitators from the University of New Hampshire. Theworkshop was aimed (1) to explore the functionality and dataholdings of the Data Synthesis System (DSS) at regional andcountry scales; (2) to assess the utility of the DSS to supportregional, sub-regional and country-level water resourcesassessments; and (3) to propose recommendations for futureenhancements of the DSS.

The DSS was presented to the expert panel demonstratingits major features and functionality including ease of use(friendly interactive interface), ease of modification in

functionality, ease in data updating, ability to comparedifferent areas with a common base (regionally to globally),ease of adapting to higher resolution datasets. Thediscussion centered on how the system could be used tosupport the countries for their water resources assessments.It was recommended that UNESCO/IHP, in collaboration withthe IHP National Committees and other relevant internationaland regional agencies, continue development of the systemin support of WWAP.

N° 58. Coping with water scarcity. By L.S.Pereira, I. Cordery and I. Iacovides. UNESCO,2002. 269 pp., figs., tables. English. (SC-2002/WS/49).

Water scarcity is among the main problems to be faced bymany societies and the World in the 21st century. Waterscarcity causes enormous problems for populations andsocieties. The available water is not sufficient for theproduction of food and for alleviating hunger and poverty inthese regions, where quite often the population growth islarger than the capability for sustainable use of the naturalresources.

The book intends to serve as a guide, not to be followedas such, but to serve for establishing regional or localguidelines oriented to help in developing and implementingnew conceptual and managerial ideas that may assist incoping with water scarcity. The basic idea behind the book isthat water scarcity will continue to exist and, for manyregions, unfortunately will continue to grow. Human andsocietal skills will need to be developed to cope with waterscarcity and to assist the local people to live in harmony withthe environmental constraints, particularly those concerningwater resources. This guideline does not produce anexhaustive review on every aspect covered but attempts toprovide basic information to assist decision-makers, watermanagers, engineers, agronomists, economists, socialscientists and other professionals to have coherent andhopefully harmonious consolidated views on the problems.Therefore, to help assist those who may need more detail,oriented, but less than comprehensive bibliographies aregiven.

Keywords: water scarcity, aridity and drought,climatic conditions, social value of water, environmentalvalue of water, economic value of water, water ownership,water use and harvesting, reservoir management,groundwater use and recharge, non-conventional resources,wastewater use, desalinated water, water conservation andwater saving practices and management, social, economic,cultural, legal and institutional constraints and issues,education, public awareness of water scarcity issues

In July 1998, the International Commission on ContinentalErosion of the International Association of HydrologicalSciences organized a symposium at the IAEA Headquartersin Vienna, Austria, with the theme “Modelling Soil Erosion,Sediment Transport and Closely Related HydrologicalProcesses”. The symposium was co-sponsored by


28

UNESCO, as a contribution to IHP-V and more particularly toIHP-V Project 2.1 dealing with “Vegetation, Land-Water Useand Erosion Processes” and Project 6.2 concerned with“Land Use,Deforestation,Erosion and Sedimentation in theHumid Tropics”. The proceedings were published by IAHSPress (Modelling Soil Erosion,Sediment Transport andClosely Related Hydrological Processes ,Proceedings of theVienna Symposium, July 13-17,1998, eds. W.Summer,E.Klaghofer and W.Zhang, IAHS Publication no.249, 1998)and the 50 papers were contributed by authors from manydifferent regions of the world.

The formal and informal discussion sessions at themeeting emphasized the diversity of the approach tomodelling erosion and sediment yield and the need for closerintegration of field monitoring and modelling activities, butnevertheless provided clear evidence of many significantadvances and achievements within the general area. Thediscussions also highlighted the central role that modellingmust play in dealing with the many environmental problemsassociated with erosion and sediment transport and in thedevelopment of effective catchment management andsediment control strategies.

To build on the success of the symposium and tocontribute further to IHP-V Projects 2.1 and 6.2, it wasagreed to assemble a collection of papers dealing with recentwork on the field of modelling erosion, sediment transportand sediment yield, that could be published in theUNESCO/IHP Technical Documents in Hydrology series, inorder to demonstrate the state-of-the-art in this importantarea. Many of the papers built on contributions to thesymposium, but others were solicited to extend the scope ofthe collection.

Hydrology and Water Management in theHumid Tropics. Hydrological Research Issuesand Strategies for Water Management. Edited byMichael Bonell, Maynard M. Hufschmidt and JohnS. Gladwell. UNESCO, 1993. 610 pages.Hardback. 279 x 215 mm. UNESCO ISBN 92-3-102854-5. Cambridge University Press ISBN 0521 45268 6.

Price: GB £110

Environmental problems in the humid tropical regions,where the focus is on the fate and management of thesurviving rainforest and climate change, are attractingincreasing attention internationally. The distribution of tropicalrainfall is highly variable, and in many regions the supply ofpotable water is inadequate. By the end of the century one-third of the world’s population will be living in the humidtropics. This book considers all aspects of hydrology in thehumid tropics. The first four parts of the book cover thephysical basis of hydrology in the humid tropics: climatology,meteorology, process hydrology, sedimentation, water qualityand freshwater ecology. This is followed by extensivetreatment of the human and societal issues: land-usechanges, water resource management, and rural and urbanwater supply in the tropical regions. The book is a uniquelyintegrated summary of hydrology in the tropics.

Keywords: climatology, meteorology, process hydrology,sedimentation, water quality, freshwater ecology, waterresources management, water and health, rural and urbanwater supply

New Uncertainty Concepts in Hydrology andWater Resources. Edited by Zbigniew W.Kundzevicz. Cambridge University Press, 1995.336 pages. Hardback. 279 x 215 mm. ISBN 0521 46118 9.

Price: GB £65

One of the greatest problems hydrologyresearch faces today is how to quantifyuncertainty, which is inherent in everyhydrological process. This modernoverview of uncertainty emphasizes non-orthodox concepts, such as randomfields, fractals and fuzziness. This bookcomprehensively reviews alternative and

conventional methods of risk and uncertainty representationin hydrology and water resources. The water-relatedapplications discussed in the book pertain to areas of strongrecent interest, such as multifractals and climate changeimpacts. The authors represent a variety of researchbackgrounds, achieving a broad subject coverage. Thematerial covered provides an important insight into the newtheories of uncertainty related to the field of hydrology. Thebook is international in its scope, and will be welcomed byresearchers and graduate students of hydrology and waterresources.

Keywords: aspects of uncertainty, fractals, fuzzy sets,pattern recognition, non-parametric methods, random fields,time series and stochastic methods, risk reliability andrelated criteria

Space and Time Scale Variability andInterdependencies in Hydrological Processes.Edited by Reinder A. Feddes. UNESCO, 1995.193 pages. Hardback. 297 x 210 mm. 124 linediagrams. 20 tables. ISBN 0 521 49508 3.

Price: GB £40

This book presents the integratedcontributions of hydrologists,meteorologists and ecologists to the firstIHP/IAHS George Kovacs Colloquium inconnection with the study of globalhydrology and climate change. Theatmospherical, hydrological andterrestrial components of the Earth’ssystems operate on different time and

space scales. Resolving these scaling incongruities, as wellas understanding and modelling the complex interaction ofland surface processes at the different scales, represent amajor challenge for hydrologists, ecologists andmeteorological scientists alike. This book deals with time andspace scale variations with reference to several topicsincluding: soil water balance; ecosystems and interaction offlow systems; and macroscale hydrological modelling. Thisbook will be of great use to researchers, engineers andforecasters with an interest in space and time scalevariability.

Keywords: heterogeneity, scaling, mesoscale andmacroscale modelling, land-atmosphere water and energyfluxes, surface fluxes of water

Groundwater / Surface Water Ecotones. Biological and Hydrological Interactions andManagement Options. Edited by Janine Gibert,Jacques Mathieu and Fred Fournier. UNESCO,1997. 258 pages. Hardback. 297 x 210 mm.151 line diagrams. 1 half-tone. 38 tables. ISBN 0521 57254 1.

Price: UK £75

Aquatic ecosystems can be adversely affected by humanactivities such as intensification of agricultural activity, orerosion and sedimentation due to irrigation projects, orgroundwater pollution and eutrophication, and so on.Interfaces, or ecotones, between terrestrial and aquaticecosystems have an essential role in the movement of waterand materials throughout the landscape. Ecotones are zoneswhere ecological processes are more intense and resourcesmore diversified. They are also zones which react quickly tohuman influences and changes of environmental variables.

This volume is derived from an international conference ofthe Ecotone project, established under the dual responsibilityof the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme andthe Man and the Biosphere Programme, and summarizes theresults of the subnetwork activities devoted to the study ofgroundwater/surface water interactions. The contributorswere carefully selected on their international scientificreputation to represent the multidisciplinary viewpoints ofhydrologists, biologists and ecologists. Topics coveredinclude interrelationships between surface water andgroundwater in riparian forests, wetlands, areas surroundinglakes and alluvial flood plains.

This book defines strategies for the integration of dataobtained by different disciplines in order to provide ascientific basis for the sound ecological management ofwater resources leading to sustainable development of theenvironment. It addresses areas of active research inhydrology and biology, and is therefore aimed towardsresearchers, water resource project managers, and policymakers.

Keywords: groundwater/surface water interfaces, bio-logy/hydrology interactions, water quality, biodiversity,modelling, river ecosystem functioning, water resourcemanagement

Subsurface Flow and Transport. A StochasticApproach. Edited by Gedeon Dagan and ShlomoP. Neuman. UNESCO, 1997. 255 pp.Hardback. 297 x 210 mm. 111 line diagrams. 2tables. ISBN 0 521 57257 6.

Price:UK £90

This book deals with issues of fluid flow and solutetransport in complex geologic environments underuncertainty. The resolution of such issues is important forthe rational management of water resources, thepreservation of subsurface water quality, the optimizationof irrigation and drainage efficiency, the safe and economicextraction of subsurface mineral and energy resources,and the subsurface storage of energy and wastes. Overthe last two decades, it has become common to describethe spatial variability of geologic medium flow and transportproperties using methods of spatial (or geo-) statistics.According to geostatistical philosophy, these propertiesconstitute spatially correlated random fields. As mediumproperties are random, the equations that governsubsurface flow and transport are stochastic.

This volume describes the most recent advances instochastic modelling. It takes stock of mathematical andcomputational solutions obtained for stochastic subsurfaceflow and transport equations, and their application toexperimental field data, over the last two decades. Thebook also attempts to identify corresponding futureresearch needs. This volume is based on the second

Kovacs Colloquium organized by the InternationalHydrological Programme (IHP) of UNESCO and theInternational Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS).

The book is a reference work for graduate students,research workers and professionals in government andpublic institutions, interested in hydrology, environmentalissues, soil physics, petroleum engineering, geologicalengineering and applied mathematics.

Keywords: groundwater, hydrogeology, stochasticmodelling, solute transport, field-scale application ofstochastic subsurface hydrology

Impacts of Climate Change and ClimateVariability on Hydrological Environments.Edited by Jan C. van Dam. UNESCO, 1999.192 pp. Hardback. 276 x 219 mm. 51 linediagrams. 15 tables. ISBN 0 521 63332 X.

Price: UK £50

Water is going to be one of the key, if not the mostcritical, environmental issues in the twenty-first centurybecause of the escalation in socio-economic pressures onthe environment in general. Any future climate change orclimate variability will only accentuate such pressures.This volume initially follows the perspective of theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) toinfer possible changes in hydrological regimes and waterquality based on the outputs from various scenarios ofGeneral Circulation Models (GCMs). In subsequentchapters, the possible effects of climate change on thehydrology of each of the continents is examined. The bookconcludes with an overview of hydrological models for usein the evaluation of the impacts of climate change. It willprovide a valuable guide for environmental planners andpolicy-makers, and will also be of use to all students andresearchers interested in the possible effects of climatechange.

Keywords: climate change, climate variability, GeneralCirculation Models (GCMs), hydrology

Price: UK £60

Water resources professionals have an obligation toconceive and manage water resource systems such thatthey will fully contribute to an improved quality of life for allhumans, now and into the future. Those water resourcesystems that will be able to satisfy the changing demandsthat will inevitably be placed on them, without significantsystem degradation, can be called ‘sustainable’. Aninternational group of experts have reviewed variousguidelines for achieving greater degrees of sustainabilityand the extent to which they have been applied in anumber of case studies. Approaches for measuring andmodelling sustainability are provided. Ways in which thesemeasures and models might be used when evaluatingalternative designs and operating policies are illustrated.The monograph will be particularly valuable for practicingengineers and planners, and as a supplementary text forgraduate students in civil and environmental engineering,hydrology, geography and economics.

Tropical glaciers are both highlysensitive indicators of globalclimate and fresh water reservoirsin some fast developing regions.This book gives a theoretical andpractical analysis of tropicalglaciology including a usefuldefinition of tropical glacier-climateregimes and the analysis of the

main glaciological key variables. The Rwenzori and theCordillera Blanca are investigated as examples of tropicalglacierized mountains. The fluctuations of their glacierssince the end of the Little Ice Age are reconstructed andthe probable climatic reasons are discussed. The evidenceof great expansions of mountain glaciers throughout thetropics on several occasions during the Quaternary aresummarized, examined and then applied and contrasted.The accompanying map of the Rwenzori MountainsNational Park at a scale of 1:100,000 shows thespectacular retreat of the glaciers during the last century,and their extensions over half the area of the Park in thelast 300,000 years.

Section IVIHP Humid Tropics Programme Series

Scientific understanding of interactions between land, vegetation, oceans, atmosphere and human actions is one of theIHP’s priorities in the humid tropics. By definition, the problems are multidisciplinary and the IHP encourages anintegrated approach to studying the various links and linkages that make up the world’s water cycle. This is accomplishedthrough globally and regionally co-ordinated co-operative efforts by networks of experts and organizations, facilitated bythe establishment of regional administrative centers. Sustainable development and management is the key to long-termsurvival. It is within this framework that the IHP has undertaken the publication of non-technical documents coveringissues relevant to the humids tropics, suitable for the higher-level decision maker and for the public.

A programme for the humid tropics. Water-related issues and problems of the humid tropicsand other warm humid regions. UNESCO,1991. 32 pages. English.

Environmental and social problems in the humid tropics areparticularly complex. Nearly all are water-related, caused bypopulation and land-use pressures and the failure to considerwater resources management adequately within the contextof general development plans for the region. This documentpresents many of the problems of the humid tropics,suggesting numerous areas in need of research. It alsodiscusses the need for co-ordinated co-operative researchprogrammes as well as structured knowledge and technologytransfer activities.

Small tropical islands - water resources ofparadises lost. Water-related issues andproblems of the humid tropics and other warmhumid regions. IHP Humid Tropics Programmeseries no. 2. By Anthony C. Falkland. UNESCO,1992. 48 pages. English.

Small islands, especially those situated far from continentsor other large islands, are physically, demographically andeconomically different. Their limited size, their shortage ofnatural resources, their isolation, the widespread nature oftheir territories, and their exposure to natural disasters canmake the hydrological and water resource problems of these

islands very serious. Most small islands have few or nopermanent streams or lakes. Their groundwater is also inlimited supply. In the small low-lying islands, such as themany coral atolls and limestone islands, what groundwaterthey posses is a thin layer of freshwater “floating” on top ofthe sea water. Both the surface water and groundwaterresources of small islands can be polluted from urbanization,agricultural activities, mining and the clearing of forests. Thedocument summarizes for the non-technically educatedreaders the factors which can determine whether or not theproblems can be lessened, including an examination of thephysical structure of the tropical small islands.

Keywords: small islands, humid tropics, coral atolls,groundwater, surface water, pollution, natural disasters,water supply, catchment protection, legislation, researchneeds, training needs.

The group suggested that a science-based "pop-doc" would be an effective initial action toremedy this. This volume is a response to thatrecommendation. It documents some of the scientificinformation that will be of interest to other scientists andmanagers of TMCF, but not overwhelming for a lay readerwho is seeking to become more informed about theseremarkable ecosystems.

This publication contains 14 contributions presented atan international workshop held in Karlsruhe (Germany) from17 to 19 July 1990. Detailed, physically-based hydrologicalmodels require data in high spatial resolution. Fundamentalto this task is the interpolation and extrapolation of dataobtained from networks of measurement stations. In thisdocument different geostatistical methods are presented tosolve this problem. Questions relating to the estimation ofsoil, surface-water and groundwater parameters arediscussed in detail. Kriging, Bayesian-kriging, co-kriging,space-time kriging examples are presented. Additionally theuse of fuzzy data, simulation techniques and empiricalorthogonal functions are also discussed.

Keywords: geostatistics, surface water, ground-water,kriging, fuzzy sets, network design.

Using archival sources for climate historyresearch. A joint study carried out byICA/ICSU/UNESCO/WMO). By C. Dhérent and G.Petit-Renaud. UNESCO, 1994. English.(SC.94/WS/6).

Free of charge

The knowledge of the climate in a global perspectivedepends critically on the amount and reliability ofobservational and other data available for studies of historicaland current climate variability and changes. Regularinstrumental observations of climate and weather parameterson the global scale do not have a long history. It is thereforenecessary to complement them, as far as possible, byvarious sources of climate data including, for instance, thoseto be obtained from tree ring or isotopic analyses.

The documentary sources offer the possibility of studyingclimatic fluctuations over a period extending to the past,beyond the hundred years of meteorological observationscarried out on the surface of the globe. A joint study carriedout since 1990 by several international organizations (ICA,ICSU, UNESCO, WMO) has led to the implementation of anarchive study on the history of climate.

The report describes the different phases of this study,the research methods used, and the preliminary resultsobtained in a delimited area of Europe.

Keywords: climate, archives, global change

Evaluation des ressources en eau. Manuelpour l’évaluation des capacités nationales.UNESCO/ OMM, 1997. 172 pages. Français.(SC.98/WS/1)

Disponible à titre gratuit

Evaluer la quantité et la qualité de l’eau disponible estindispensable à la mise en valeur et à la gestion desressources en eau, qu’il s’agisse d’eau potable pour lespopulations, de production agricole, industrielle ou d’énergie.

L’évaluation des ressources en eau demeure uneresponsabilité nationale de même que l’examen de lacapacité d’un pays à pratiquer cette évaluation. Cependant,avec l’accroissement de la demande d’eau dans la plupartdes régions, qui entraîne un recours de plus en plus fréquentà des bassins hydrographiques transfrontalières, il sepourrait que les évaluations régionales portant sur plusieurspays se multiplient. Des principes directeurs, élaborés àl’échelle internationale, ont été publiés en 1988 parl’UNESCO et l’OMM sous le titre Evaluation des ressourcesen eau – Manuel pour une étude d’appréciation des activitésnationales (la version anglaise est parue en 1988 et lesversions espagnole et française en 1993). L’utilisation de ceguide était supposée aboutir à une certaine uniformitéd’approche, et faciliter ainsi la mise en place d’unecoopération régionale et internationale concernantl’évaluation des ressources en eau.

L’évolution récente de la situation en matière d’évaluationet de gestion des ressources en eau a conduit à réexamineret à réviser la publication initiale, en particulier pour enfaciliter l’emploi. La méthodologie révisée est présentéedans le présent Manuel à l’intention de tous ceux qui ont lacharge d’apprécier la capacité d’un pays à pratiquerl’évalutaion de base de ses ressources en eau.

Groundwater pollution. By AlexanderZaporozec and John C. Miller. UNESCO, 2000.25 pp., illus., figs. English.

Free of charge

Groundwater is one of the world’s “hidden” resources.However, many of those who have heard of groundwaterconsider it as a pristine source of drinking water that cannotbe polluted because it is naturally protected from pollution bylayers of soils and rocks. Yet, pollution of groundwater hasalways been with us because of its close link to humanactivities. Practically every human activity, every type offacility or structure installed by man represents a potentialsource of pollution. This brochure summarizes, inpopularized form, not only the value of groundwater, itswidespread occurrence and availability, and its naturalqualities but also the relatively little attention that has beenfocused on groundwater pollution – whether naturally-occuring or introduced by human activities.

Keywords: groundwater pollution, groundwateroccurrence and movement, groundwater quality, sources ofgroundwater pollution, waste disposal, groundwaterprotection.

Integrated drought management: Lessons forSub-Saharan Africa (brochure). UNESCO, 200215 pp., illus., figs. English.

Free of charge

Drought is a chronic problem in sub- Saharan Africa. Themost seriously affected are the dryland areas of Africa southof the Sahara and, according to expert opinion,desertification still continues to accelerate.

Throughout the world there is a growing recognition thatdrought and desertification are multi-faceted problemsrequiring a developmental rather than a crisis managementapproach. The challenge lies in moving towards theintegration of a variety of actions, which can mitigate thecrisis, and create opportunities for improving the quality oflife, maintaining ecosystems and generating wealth andsustainable development.. Some of the lessons learned inthis regard for sub-Saharan Africa have been captured in thisbrochure to help create national, regional and internationalmomentum towards integrated drought management.

The water flowing out of aquifers to feed springs and riversis replenished naturally, at a rate which varies according tolocal conditions. Pressures of the modern world to increasewater resources has led to the concept of enhancing thesenatural rates of recharge so that groundwater can be usedmore widely. This brochure describes the principles ofmanaging aquifer recharge and lists the activities andachievements of the major international players in thisimportant area of sustainable development.Keywords: aquifer recharge, groundwater, rainwaterharvesting, aquifer storage and recovery (ASR), induced

The symposium on Sustainability of Water Resourcesunder Increasing Uncertainty, jointly convened by theInternational Commission on Water Resources Systems, theInternational Commission on Surface Water, and theInternational Commission on Groundwater during the FifthIAHS Scientific Assembly held in Rabat, Morocco, from 23April to 3 May 1997, examines the hydrological basis andmanagement options which provide the scientific foundationfor the sustainable use of water resources.

The published proceedings include a number of papersfrom the hydrological community in Africa where problems ofsustainability have been highlighted by decreased rainfallwhich has resulted in severe and prolonged agricultural andwater resource drought over extensive regions of thecontinent. In general the 56 published papers reflect thewide range of global issues and scientific challenges beingencountered by hydrologists.

In considering the scientific issues which affect bothsurface water and groundwater availability and the policiesand measures which should be introduced to provide reliableand sustainable water resource systems, a key focus wasthe impact of environmental change, including climate, landuse, urbanization, economic development and greater publicawareness of environmental issues.

The papers in this proceedings are a contribution to theInternational Hydrological Programme of UNESCO (IHP-VProject 4.1).

Tracer techniques have proven to be applicable to virtuallyevery aspect of hydrology, and increased use of thesetechniques in the future seems certain. The 33 publishedpapers of this symposium, which was jointly convened by theIAHS International Commission on Water Quality (ICQW)and the International Committee on Tracers (ICT) during theFifth Scientific Assembly of the IAHS held at Rabat,Morocco, 23 April to 3 May 1997, summarize the use oftracers and contribute to knowledge of the movement andresidence of natural and human-made chemical constituentsin all parts of the hydrosphere. Symposium topics relevant tolocal and regional issues for arid and semi-arid areas and forthe humid tropics were targetted, and papers on modellingstudies using tracer results were encouraged.

The papers were separated into three groups: Salinizationand Saltwater Intrusion, for which papers are relevant to thearid and semi-arid zone and contribute to UNESCO’s IHP-VProject 5.1, Tracer Techniques, and Hydrological andHydrochemical Processes, for which a subset of papers arerelevant to the humid tropics and contribute to IHP-V Project6.1.

The 33 papers in this publication explore and assess thesignificance of human activity in influencing both erosion andsediment transport. Concern for this impact has beenpromoted by recent interest in global change and sustainabledevelopment of the world’s resources. The papers werepresented at the international symposium on Human Impacton Erosion and Sedimentation, organized by the IAHSInternational Commission on Continental Erosion during theFifth IAHS Scientific Assembly held at Rabat, Morocco, from23 April to 3 May 1997.

This publication brings together case studies and findingsfrom 23 countries representative of many differentenvironments, as well as providing more general globalperspectives. The first eight papers focus on human impacton erosion rates and provide useful examples of the potentialmagnitude of the changes associated with different humanactivities in a range of environments, as well as directingattention to the development of procedures for predicting themagnitude of the changes involved. The next group of 11papers considers the downstream effects of acceleratederosion on sediment transport and sediment yield and thesecontributions document a wide range of examples of theimpact of human activity and land development in differentparts of the world. These are followed by six further papersthat explore a number of problems and approachesassociated with the development of sediment managementand control strategies. The final eight papers deal morespecifically with reservoir sedimentation and relatedproblems and with the impact of river regulation on sedimentloads and channel morphology.

This symposium was a contribution to the InternationalHydrological Programme of UNESCO (IHP-V Project 2.1).

There is an increasing demand for the forecasting of waterquantity and quality at all scales from the local (point) to theregional (meso and macro) scale, and so regionalization hasbecome one of the major issues in hydrology.

The basic principles of many hydrological processes arewell understood and numerous models, applicable atdifferent scales, have been developed. However, it is notusually possible to apply such models across scalesbecause the model structure, and/or the model parameters,are scale variant. Therefore in addition to the classicaldefinition of regionalization (determination of hydrologicallysimilar units), it is necessary to analyse problems concernedwith interpolation, and up- and downscaling. Whileinterpolation takes place at a certain scale, up- anddownscaling are concerned with a change of scale from thelocal up to the regional scale, or vice versa.

This volume comprises a selection of 28 papers from aninternational conference held in 1997 at Braunschweig,Germany, which explored new mathematical andcomputational tools to describe and analyse the behaviour ofhydrological systems at all relevant scales from the point tothe global, for whole systems and for subsystems. Thepapers provide an overview of actual model andregionalization concepts, scaling of properties andprocesses, and of modern software tools.

The 54 papers covera wide range of topics pertaining to fluvial sedimentarysystems, recognizing their role and the way in which they aremanaged for the health of riverine systems. They aregrouped into four sections:

Eco-geomorphology: linking the physical form of fluvialsedimentary systems with ecological response capturesresearch on the relationships between the physical formof river systems and ecological functioning.

Flood plains: the role of temporary storage in theexchange of sediment and nutrients focuses on theconveyance and cycling of contaminants, sediment andnutrients through temporary storage.

Variability: magnitude and frequency controllingsedimentary systems identifies how understanding theeffects of temporal and spatial variation on our riversystems is key to their management.

Techniques: new approaches in the study of fluvialsedimentary systems presents advances in theapplication of remote sensing, hydraulic modelling andtracing to the study of these systems.

Each section concludes with a keynote paper summarizingthe main issues and identifying the challenges which facethat research field into the future.

Anonline version is available on the IHPwebsite at http://www.unesco.org/water/ihp/db/.

The present data set demonstrates the potential ofcombining observed river discharge information with aclimate-driven Water Balance Model in order todevelop composite runoff fields which are consistentwith observed discharges. The method applied in thepreparation of this data set utilizes a gridded rivernetwork at 30-minute spatial resolution to represent theriverine flow pathways and to link the continental landmass to oceans through river channels. Selectedgauging stations from the Global Runoff Data Centredata archive were co-registered to a simulatedtopological network (STN-30p) developed at theUniversity of New Hampshire. Inter-station regionsbetween gauging stations along the STN-30p networkwere identified. Inter-station discharge and runoff werecalculated to compare observed runoff with outputsfrom the water balance model (WBM) simulation.

Among the most serious problems in water resourcesis the degradation of groundwater. The objectives ofIHP-V Project 3.1 “Groundwater contaminationinventory” were to document the extent, spatialdistribution, and types of contamination including point-source and non-point-source problems, as well asnatural contamination due to saline water intrusion atregional scales and to develop a standardisedmethodological guideline. Data on the extent ofcontamination were gathered by the IHP NationalCommittees and the UNESCO Regional Offices ofScience and Technology and presented at variousconferences organized during the IHP-V. Themethodological guideline on groundwatercontamination inventory is presented in thispublication.

Water, Environment and Society in Timesof Climatic Change. Contributions from anInternational Workshop within theframework of UNESCO’s IHP, held at Ben-Gurion University, Sede Boker, Israel, from7-12 July 1996. Edited by Arie S. Issar andNeville Brown. 372 pp., hardbound, ISBN 0-7923-5282-3. 1998, Kluwer AcademicPublishers. Price: US$159. Orders shouldbe sent to: Kluwer Academic Publishers,Order Department, PO Box 322, 3300 AHDordrecht, The Netherlands. Fax: +31 78654 6474. E-mail: [email protected]

This volume addresses climate variability and itshuman impact during the Holocene. The variouscontributions were presented during the July 1996Negev University workshop and provide aninterdisciplinary, integrative overview. Some chaptersdocument and discuss climate variability and paleo-hydrology using stable isotopes, radiocarbon, pollenand other proxy data. The mechanisms causingclimate variability are also extensively discussed.

This volume will be of interest to paleo-hydrologists, paleo-climatologists, palynologists,Quarternary geologists, physical geographers,archaeologists, and other scientists interested inclimate change and history.

The workshop was organized in close co-operationwith the IHP and is a major contribution to IHP-Vproject 1.4.

Lyle, N. Peters, B. Pettersen,P. Quinn, J. Rockström, C. Yapijakis.Published by the Swedish Natural ScienceResearch Council (NFR) as a contribution tothe International Hydrological Programme(IHP) of UNESCO. 128 pp. English.©Swedish Natural Science ResearchCouncil (NFR), 1999.

A land use decision is also a water decision. Landand water are closely linked through the water cycle.In extreme cases, downstream effects of irrigationfarming may be as serious as in the case of the AralSea disaster. An increasing number of rivers arereported more or less depleted from upstream land useactivities. At the same time, farmers are accused alsoof polluting the underlying groundwater beyondpotability limits and of causing eutrophication ofsurface waters and enclosed seas. Industrializedlandscapes are littered by landfills leaking pollutants tounderlying aquifers. Their remediation has often reliedon “superfunds” due to the high costs involved.

In demystifying the water cycle, this book reviewsissues in land-water management, clarifying the need

for an integrated approach in line with Agenda 21. Thelinks between water cycle, human activities and theireffects on freshwater is explained and illustrated byexamples from different parts of the world. The bookrelated land use to sustainability issues and highlightscurrent policy mismatches. It also includes adiscussion of the time scale of recovery and providesan agenda for a better-informed political action.

The book contributes actively in filling theconceptual void between climate and ecosystems. Itmay serve as an introductory text to students and itmay also be valuable for teachers looking for a goodoverview of key causes and processes that lead up toecological degradation and for a knowledgeablegeneral audience interested in ongoing environmentaldegradation all around the world.

Quatrième de la collection Environnement, cetouvrage devrait intéresser non seulement lesscientifiques, mais aussi tout personne concernée parle problème de l'eau. L'eau, de la cellule au paysage,ouvrage résolument interdisciplinaire, traite de « l'eau,source de vie : sa qualité, sa gestion ». Il s'agit derassembler disciplines, approches et échellesdifférentes afin de percevoir, dans une vision intégréeet spatialisée, les enjeux environnementaux de l'eausur les problématiques suivantes : l'eau, vecteurd'informations environnementales ; l'eau, vecteurd'informations biologiques ; l'eau et la qualité del'environnement dans les zones humides ; l'eau dansson intégration socioéconomique et appliquée.

L'eau constitue en effet le principal véhicule deseffluents d'origines diverses, des microorganismes etdes molécules biologiquement actives ; elle détermineles usages et les valorisations des lieux et apparaîtainsi comme un agent essentiel de l'évolution despaysages et comme un élément clé de la géographiede la santé. Dès lors, elle nécessite une approcheglobale afin de fixer les termes d'un développementdurable de l'espace.

In 1998/99, the Netherlands National Committee forIHP/OHP and the National Commission for UNESCOdiscussed manners to strengthen co-operationbetween the natural and social sciences within theframework of UNESCO’s cross-sectoral project on“Urban development and freshwater resources in smalland medium-sized Mediterranean cities”. It wasdecided to organize an international WorkingConference in order to discuss opportunities of co-operation between scientists of both disciplines in theNetherlands as well as with their colleagues in theMediterranean region. A preceding short mission oftwo experts – one natural scientist and one socialscientist – to Alexandria (Egypt) and Saida (Lebanon)was carried out in November 1999 by Dr Mike J. Hall,professor of hydrology at IHE-Delft, and Ms MicaelaSchuster, urban environmental specialist at IHS-Rotterdam. This report presents a condensed problemanalysis and problem grouping, followed by a set ofrecommendations, one of which focuses on issues forpotential co-operation between research institutions.
