River Basin Management 2009

[i]Seventh International Conference on River Basin Management including all aspects of Hydrology, Ecology, Environmental Management, Flood Plains and Wetlands[/i] 7 - 9 September 2009 Malta Organised by:Wessex Institute of Technology, UK Sponsored by:WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment River Basin Management 2009 is the fifth Conference in the series which marks the growing international interest in the planning, design and management of river basin systems. The Conference aims to communicate recent advances in the overall management of riverine systems, including advances in hydraulic and hydrological modelling, ecology, environmental management and flood forecasting. In recent years, significant advances have been made in the development and application of software tools for predicting flow, water quality, sediment transport and ecological processes in riverine systems. River Basin Management 2009 will provide the ideal forum for practitioners and academia to highlight the latest developments in this fi eld and to discuss the experience of applying such tools to practical riverine problems. The first River Basin Management conference took place in Cardiff, UK in 2001, followed by a meeting in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (2003), Bologna, Italy (2005), and the fourth in Kos, Greece (2007). Conference Topics * Integrated watershed planning * River and watershed management * Water resources management * Water quality issues * Flood studies * Ecological and environmental impact * Erosion and sediment transport * Hydrological modelling * Case studies * Eco-hydraulics * River restoration and rehabilitaion * Policy and governance * Hydropower production Abstract and Paper Submission Information Papers are invited on the topics outlined and others falling within the scope of the meeting. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted as soon as possible. Abstracts should clearly state the purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in the final paper. We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts electronically, by clicking on the 'Submit an Abstract' button found at the top and bottom of this page. If you prefer, abstracts can be sent by email, fax or mail to the Conference Secretariat. Details can be found on the left side of this page. Please include your name, full address and conference topic on all submissions.
