WPMMW Registration for 31st session – Prague (CZ) 4-6 Sept 2017
Management of municipal watersheds in mountain regions. The session will focus on the management of municipal watersheds in mountain regions, with special attention to impacts of long-term investigations in headwater catchments, to participatory watershed management and land-use policy. The aim is to identify environmental benefits of headwater control and to discuss uncertainties in estimating hydrological characteristics (water yield, runoff timing, probability of extreme events, water quality, and ecological discharge) and water scarcity in mountain catchments by changing climate and land-use. A field excursion will be organized on 6 September to visit headwater basins of the drinking water reservoirs Josefuv Dul and Sous in the Jizera mountains (Northern Bohemia).
