Proceedings of the International Symposium on Flood Forecasting and Water Resources Assessment for IAHS-PUB (Spt. 2006, Beijing)

China is on the way to changing from traditional water resources development to water resources management for sustainable development. The advanced hydrology can play an important role in the water resources management with regard to hydrological predictions. There are increasing demands on the PUB application for better management of water resources in China.

The China PUB organization has been formed in 2004. and, as a result of the efforts of the China PUB organization, the China PUB Working Groups have been established, which focuses on the new methodology of hydrological simulation and prediction under the changes in climate and land surface. For promoting the exchanges between China and IAHS and for showing the research progresses in China to the world, China PUB National Steering Committee organized the international Symposium on Flood Forecasting and Water Resources Assessment for ISHS-PUB.

This Symposium provided a good opportunity for exchanging our experiences with experts from oversea and learning new theory and technique from other counties. In this meeting, we have seen advice and suggestion on flood control, disaster mitigation and water resources management. This will contribute to the harmonious coexistence between the human and the nature and to a sustainable development of our society, and contribute to development of hydrological sciences.
