Workshop topics

 

Keeping in mind aim of the INYS initiative  participants from  three countries ( U.K., Slovak Republic and Czech Republic) were selected in order to maximize the potential for future international cooperation. The selection was based on a review of the submitted abstracts and the following research areas were  selected for the workshop.

  • Flood prediction and forecasting

  • Processes in the unsaturated zone

  • Sediment transport

  • Low flow predictions

General remarks on preparation of presentations

 

The lecture room will have avalaible the visual equipment including data projector, projection screen and notebook (with Linux, and Windows installed). It is recommended to all those who  wish to give power point or other computer guided presentation that they bring their files on floppy disk, CD/DVD or USB memory stick.

 

Regarding the level of presentations: We suggest presenting at a level which the majority of participants will understand.  You should present the topic so that it can be understood by hydrologists who are not specialists in your particular field. This will make it easier to identify potential for collaboration. More detailed scientific discussion can be undertaken during the networking session.
