Description:
HYDROSOFT 2002 is the ninth conference in this successful series on
'Hydraulic Information Management'. The series first started in
Portoros, the former Yugoslavia (1984) and continued in Southampton,
UK (1986); Boston, USA (1990); Valencia, Spain (1992);
Porto Carras, Greece (1994); Penang, Malaysia (1996); Lake Como, Italy
(1998) and Lisbon, Portugal (2000).
The management of information is a critical factor in the assessment of all aspects of engineering analysis and design particularly in the field of hydrology and hydraulic engineering. In addition the collection and generation of simulated data is frequently used to control the performance of hydraulic systems and therefore it is essential that data is managed in a cost effective and efficient manner to produce an optimised solution. Hydraulic engineering covers the broad areas of groundwater flow, open channel flow and pressure flow. The HYDROSOFT conference has always been associated with all aspects of hydrology and hydraulic engineering, including water resources, and in particular with the latest software developments in these areas. In addition to this traditional base, this current conference will focus on the way in which hydraulic information is managed to best advantage.
With the recent concern over the effects of climate change, it is essential that the balance between different water systems such as groundwater, rivers and lakes are observed to enable better predictions to be produced. Furthermore these effects should be observed at an international level in order for the complete global system to be assessed which requires the co-operation between international scientists in the field. HYDROSOFT 2002 offers a unique opportunity for this to take place.
