Abstract | The overall objective of the Hydrology and Water Resources Programme for the decade 1992-2001 is: To ensure the assessment and forecasting of the quantity and quality of water resources, in order to meet the needs of all sectors of society, to enable mitigation of water-related hazards, and to maintain or enhance the condition of the global environment. These needs relate to the planning, design and management of water projects, including forecasting and control. The objective includes promoting the development of, at least, the minimum capabilities in developing countries through technology transfer and technical assistance to enable them, on their own, to assess their water resources on a continuous basis, to respond to threats of floods and droughts and thus meet all requirements for water and its use and management. |
