30th IHP Training Course

The 30th UNESCO IHP Online Training Course "Integrated Basin Management under Changing Climate"

cover1

A 10-day training course on integrated basin management strategies including aspects of water resources and water-related disasters under climate change was held for participants from Asia-Pacific regions as a part of Japanese contribution to the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP). The course composed of a series of lectures, model practices, field exercise and technical visits was held at Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University from 1st December to 10th December 2020.

Outline

Objectives

The on-line training course is oriented to the study of integrated basin management: hydrological extreme analysis, assessing the impacts of climate change, rainfall-runoff-inundation modelling, reservoir sustainability, optimum operation and management, as well as knowledge of the interrelationship with river ecosystem and environment.Development of resilient society has become an inevitable issue under the recent climate change increasing the frequency of extreme phenomena such as unprecedented flood and severe drought. In order to make our society more resilient, social adaptation to the hazards and countermeasure for disasters are required based on technologies for prediction and assessment on the future conditions of water resources.

In light of the Focal Area 1.1 “Risk management as adaptation to global change” and 1.2 “Understanding coupled human and natural processes” under the Theme 1 “Water related disasters under hydrological change” of the IHP-VIII, the 29th IHP Training Course in Kyoto will give an opportunity for participants: 1) to acquire the latest knowledge on climate change impacts on water resources, water-related disasters and ecosystem services, 2) to make a practice on rainfall-runoff-inundation analysis at river basin scale, and 3) to discuss effective strategies of integrated basin management based on scientific knowledge to realize a resilient society under climate change.
