Niger-HYCOS an Information System for Water Resources Assessment and Management of the Niger Basin : A sub-regional component of the World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS)
The present document sets out the framework for the implementation of the Niger river basin hydrological observing system, designated Niger-HYCOS. It is based on a provisional document prepared in 2003 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), in collaboration with IRD (Institut français de Recherche pour le Développement) and at the request of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA).Permalink![]()
Flood Management Policy Series. Economic Aspects of Integrated Flood Management
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM); Global Water Partnership (GWP) - WMO, 2006 (WMO-No. 1010)This publication forms part of the Flood Management Policy Series published within the framework of the WMO/GWP Associated Programme on Flood Management. The series comprises publications on various aspects of flood management policy, including economic, environmental, legal and institutional, and social aspects. The series provides an in-depth supplement to the Integrated Flood Management Concept Paper (APFM 2003). The series is based on inputs from experts and leading sector professionals in the area of natural resource management and development policy.Permalink![]()

World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS) Guidelines
The Guidelines should help achieve the objectives of the International Decade for Action "Water for Life" (2005–2015). They are designed to serve as guidance for the main stages of project formulation and implementation including initiation, development, realization and management, as well as monitoring and evaluation, of HYCOS projects. It is expected that the information in this brochure should allow for the exchange of experience, data and information among development projects and activities and thereby help in developing and improving the implementation of HYCOS components.Permalink![]()

Flood Management Policy Series. Social Aspects and Stakeholder Involvement in Integrated Flood Management
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM); Global Water Partnership (GWP) - WMO, 2006 (WMO-No. 1008)This publication highlights the importance of social aspects that need to be addressed in formulation of Integrated Flood Management polices. It provides an overview of various vulnerabilities of the society that have an impact on flood management issues. It also highlights the need for stakeholder participation in planning and implementation. Particularly, flood emergency management in pre, during and post flood stages. The paper attempts to outline the role of various stakeholders including Government institutions at all levels and NGOs in flood emergency response.Permalink![]()
Flood Management Policy Series. Legal and Institutional Aspects of Integrated Flood Management
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM); Global Water Partnership (GWP) - WMO, 2006 (WMO-No. 997)This publication aims to raise the awareness of policy-makers about the need for an appropriate legal framework for Integrated Flood Management (IFM). Additionally it intends to motivate and enable flood practitioners, stakeholder groups (including actors of the civil society involved in public opinion building such as NGOs and the media), to engage in dialogue with policy-makers about the legal requirements and best approach to a balanced legal framework for IFM.Permalink![]()
Legal and institutional aspects of integrated flood management: case studies
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM); Global Water Partnership (GWP) - WMO, 2006 (WMO-No. 1004)Floods and Law. Two topics that at first glance do not seem to have many obvious connections. Yet the way we deal with floods is partly expressed and governed through laws at various levels of society reaching from the local to the international level. The publication contains four case studies from India, Japan, Serbia and Switzerland to provide policy and law-makers as well as flood managers insight into how the issue of floods has been addressed in different legal systems around the world. The case studies have been compiled by leading experts from the respective countries and are published ...Permalink![]()
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 ...Permalink![]()

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.Permalink![]()
