AIM
The aim of the two-week Research Work Shop (RWS) is to provide some
background of methods and ideas in Integrated Water Resource
Management. For the best performing participants, this may be the
start of continued research, guided by one of the lecturers of the RWS.
DESCRIPTION
Water Resources consist of the assembly of rivers, estuaries, fresh
water ponds, coastal zone, etc. For a given area the total water
balance is determined by perspiration (rain), evaporation, height of
water table, water flow into, within and outside the area. This water
balance is determined by the land use (agriculture, urbanization),
topography, man-made infrastructures like dams in rivers for energy
and drainage in urban areas.
A particular situation for a given area may change because of human
interventions and because of natural changes such as changing weather
conditions caused by Global Change.
Water resource Management is the assembly of human decisions to
influence the existing or expected situation to achieve a certain
goal, such as to prevent flooding, or to divide scarce water between
land-use and river flow, etc. The description of the water resources
at a certain moment, and its prospective change in time is always
incomplete and insecure because of lack of data or unforeseeable
future developments.
For a sound management it is essential to know the effects of
potential measures. For instance, decisions to prevent disasters like
flooding should be based on a risk analysis of the event: the
occurrence and the effects that have to be weighted according to
certain criteria. When all the above mentioned factors are taken into
account, one talks about Integrated WR Management.
This RWS will introduce aspects of the modelling of the water
household and also of integrated management strategies. The modelling
leads to knowledge of the effects of changes, and therefore provides
decision support for integrated management.
PROGRAMME LAY-OUT
The first week is a course week, with lectures and exercise classes.
This course week can be attended by maximal 30 participants. At the
end of this week, the projects will be introduced and project groups
will be formed. At most 20 participants can continue with these
projects, when necessary selected based on their performance during
the course week. This project work will be executed during the whole
second week with close guidance by the RWS lecturers. Participants
will prepare written and oral presentations of their work.
Arrangements for further activities will be made if applicable.
PROJECTS
Project 1 Citarum River
Projects 2&3 Model and Basin Intercomparison Project Project 4.
Impacts of changes in climate and land use on flood management Project
5 Effect of logging practices on rainfall interception loss
AWARD/CONTINUATION
For at most five of the best performing participants, a continued
activity will be designed. Such a continuation may consist of further
study and own research investigations in a specific topic. Working on
the topic may include a period of several months as guest of
LabMath-Indonesia in Bandung. During these periods, and as much as
possible also during other periods using email for correspondence,
tutorial guidance will be provided by one of the lecturers of the RWS.
When achievements are good, sooner or later the results will lead to
an application for a research grant, to an international publication,
and/or to a visit or following a study programme at a university
abroad, whatever is possible and desired. The best performing
participants will be invited and guided to write a research proposal
to be submitted to (inter-) national funding agencies.
