Programme highlights We are glad to draw your attention to a number of special sessions that have been organised for ICWRER VI. Renowned experts will provide overviews on fundamental issues in environmental sciences and hydrology. The sessions are meant to provide extra space for ample discussion while addressing both established researchers and young scientists. We hope to develop a lively dialogue giving fresh impetus to research and development in the fields covered by the sessions.

Keynotes Monday, 3 June 2013 | Big hall / Großer Saal 11:00 – 11:30

Water management – implementation aspects Dr. Fritz Holzwarth Deputy Director General for Water Management, Federal Ministry of the Environment – German Water Director

11:30 – 12:00

How to introduce more realism in conceptual models? Prof. Dr. Hubert H. G. Savenije Delft University of Technology

12:00 – 12:30

Special Sessions Monday, 3 June 2013 | Room 4 / Raum 4 14:00 – 15:00

Probabilities in water management – applications of statistical tools, their benefits and limitations Prof. Dr. Andreas H. Schumann Ruhr University Bochum

This special session starts with an overview about applications of statistical tools in water management planning. The basic assumptions of mathematical statistics are compared with the specific characteristics of hydrological and water management data. The implications for applications e. g. for design flood estimations are discussed. The following discussion is aimed at giving recommendations for useful applications, depending on the targets of such studies and the need for skilled users. It aims to characterising questionable or unsuitable conditions and practices for their applications as well.

The panel discusses some of the critical issues surrounding contemporary engineering design and planning issues related to contemporary infrastructure planning, design and operation under climate variability and change uncertainties.

Wednesday, 5 June 2013 | Room 3 / Raum 3 09:00 – 10:15

Data – information – (mis)interpretation Prof. Dr. András Bárdossy University of Stuttgart

This session aimes at giving participants the opportunity to discuss analysis and interpretation of hydrological data with Professor András Bárdossy. Different approaches and common misunderstandings in data analysis and interpretation will be discussed.

Thursday, 6 June 2013 | Room 3 / Raum 3 09:00 – 10:00

Hydrological Modelling Prof. Dr. Günter Blöschl Vienna University of Technology

This session is dedicated to discussing issues related to hydrological modelling. The questions will serve as a basis for discussing modelling issues with Professor Günter Blöschl (Vienna) during the session. A special focus is set on restrictions and conditions for modelling, scales, and adequacy of modelling approaches.
