Developing and implementing innovative management approaches and how to cope with the increasing complexity and uncertainties was the theme of the first International Conference on Adaptive and Integrated Water Management, held in November 2007 in Basel, Switzerland. The conference volume includes selected contributions on conceptual and methodological innovations and empirical insights from case studies on important themes such as multi-level governance, change management, vulnerability assessment, environmental flows, uncertainty analysis and the impacts of climate change. The book addresses a wide interdisciplinary audience of scientists and professionals from academia, industry, and those involved in policy making.

IHP/HWRP publications, Book 6, 300 pages, Koblenz 2007
(Posted 28 May 2008)
This report aims at helping to clarify some of the main characteristics of forest hydrology in order to provide a sound basis for planning and operational purposes for both water managers and forest officials. It is based on scientific research in the Black Forest and Bavarian Forest (Part I), as well as a thorough study of the hydrological characteristics of Valday forests in Russia (Part II). This publication is a contribution to the 6th Phase of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) by the German IHP/HWRP National Committee.
