World Hydrological Cycle Observing System Guidelines
WHYCOS is a global concept, comprising a number of independent regional or basin-wide Hydrological Cycle Observing System (HYCOS) components. At the local level within a country, HYCOS brings together various agencies to work on delivering enhanced data and information products, such as the production and delivery of flood forecasts and warnings. An important complementary activity is the building of closer ties to communities and groups whose primary mandate benefits from access to the enhanced data, products and services, thereby achieving increased positive societal impacts. This contribute ...

JCOMM Technical Report, 64. Coastal inundation forecasting demonstration project - Implementation plan
Coastal disasters are a major threat to the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on safety and socio-economic development in low-lying, highly-populated coastal areas. They include storm surges and wind-induced waves associated with severe cyclones, and their combined effect with river flooding, leading to coastal inundation. Risk management for such coastal disasters represents a great challenge to scientists and policy makers in Meteorology, Hydrology, Oceanography, Emergency Management and Coastal Planning. In particular, recognizing this extreme vulnerability of coastal areas to storm ...

Manual on estimation of Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP)
The manual describes procedure for estimating the maximum probable precipitation and the maximum probable flood. This is the third revised version.
The first and second editions of this manual were published in 1973 and 1986, respectively. The current edition keeps a majority of the content from the second edition. Newly added content in this third edition primarily results from experiences, since 1986, in directly estimating PMP for the requirements of a given project in a design watershed on probable maximum flood (PMF) in China, the United States of America, Australia and India.

Making integrated flood management : part of the development agenda
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Global Water Partnership (GWP); Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM) - WMO, 2006Our planet’s water resources are vital for sustainable development. Floods play a major role in replenishing freshwater resources, recharging wetlands and groundwater and supporting agriculture and fishery systems, thereby making flood plains preferred areas for human settlement and various economic activities. Flood plains are subjected to periodic inundation by the smaller and more frequent floods that also provide nutrition to fertile agricultural lands, supporting livelihoods of riparian communities. Occasionally, however, floods have negative impacts on lives, livelihoods and economic act ...

Projet Volta-HYCOS - Stage de formation, formation en hydrométrie : éléments de topographie
Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM); Groupe des écoles EIER - ETSHER ; Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) - 2006Ce document traite du thème de la topographie et du nivellement appliqué à l’hydrologie, sujet vaste et complexe qu’il est illusoire de prétendre explorer de manière exhaustive en quelques pages. Complété par les notes, visites de terrain et échanges d’expériences entre participants, ce document devrait constituer un bon mémento pour les hydrométristes anciens ou nouveaux qui suivent ce cours.

Programme on Flood Management (APFM). integrated flood management : concept paper
This paper conceptualizes Integrated Flood Management (IFM) as a subset of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and describes the interplay between floods and the development process. It takes a look at traditional flood management options from the IFM angle and identifies the major challenges encountered by flood plain managers and decision makers before describing the basic tenets and requirements of IFM.
This concept paper is to be followed by a series of supplementary papers going into further detail about different aspects of IFM to help flood managers and decision ...

WHYCOS: World Hydrological Cycle Observing System
Forty per cent of the world's population today lives in countries which have medium-to-high water stress. Unless water resources are wisely managed, shortages could become a serious obstacle to economic and social progress. The World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS) has been developed to contribute to WMO's goal of assisting Member countries maintain and improve their observational and information systems to help them better manage their water resources. This booklet gives a short look at this programme.
