International Workshop on Advances in Flood Forecasting and the Implications for Risk Management

The International Commission for the Hydrology of the River Rhine Basin (CHR in collaboration with Netherlands and German National Comittees for IHP-HWRP are organising an International Workshop on Advances in Flood Forecasting and the Implications for Risk Management, from the 25-26th May in Alkmmar, Netherlands.The recent developments in flood forecasting allow for better quantification of uncertainties that come with flood forecasting modelling and information about uncertainties must be communicated to decision makers as well as to the general public. The change from pure deterministic to more probabilistic forecasts is a challenge for all stages of flood risk management. The workshop will present recent developments, look for knowledge gaps and discuss new perspectives.
