Synopsis

The contributions to this Conference provide insight into recent developments in modelling hydrological processes and planning the use of natural resources under the constraints of economic, social and environmental sustainability. Innovative management issues, practices and tools are also proposed and analysed, mainly under the perspective of compatible economic and social aims with the environmental ones. These contributions can be arranged into four sections: - new trends in modelling in hydrology, and water and land use planning and management; - new approaches in measuring and handling data, including related mathematical and computer techniques; - new tools for evaluation, visualisation and decision making, with particular attention to spatially distributed data and decision support systems; - new management policies and practices, mainly concerning agricultural water and soil use, and water quality management. These contributions show significant advances but they also reveal gaps in our knowledge. Future research, namely based on long term observations on soil and water processes, is required to effectively validate present issues, to generate new ones, and to contribute to better-resolved scale problems. In parallel, new issues are required to transfer innovation into practice, to promote better institutional arrangements facilitating new policies, and for monitoring the state of the environment and the practices dealing with natural resources.

The contributions to this Conference provide insight into recent developments in modelling hydrological processes and planning the use of natural resources under the constraints of economic, social and environmental sustainability. Innovative management issues, practices and tools are also proposed and analysed, mainly under the perspective of compatible economic and social aims with the environmental ones. These contributions can be arranged into four sections:

- new trends in modelling in hydrology, and water and land use planning and management;

- new approaches in measuring and handling data, including related mathematical and computer techniques;

- new tools for evaluation, visualisation and decision making, with particular attention to spatially distributed data and decision support systems;

- new management policies and practices, mainly concerning agricultural water and soit use, and water quality management.

These contributions show significant advances but they also reveal gags in our knowledge. Future research, namely based on long term observations on soil and water processes, is required to effectively validate present issues, to generate new ones, and to contribute to better-resolved scale problems. In parallel, new issues are required to transfer innovation into practice, to promote better institutional arrangements facilitating new policies, and for monitoring the state of the environment and the practices dealing with natural resources.
