Advances in computer technology, in the technology of communication
and in mathematical modelling of processes in the hydrological
cycle have recently improved our potential to protect ourselves
against damage through floods and droughts and to control
quantities and qualities in our water systems. This development was
demonstrated in a 1983 post-experience course at Wageningen
University where an international group of experts reviewed
successful modelling techniques and described the design and
operation of a number of forecasting and control systems in
drainage basins and river reaches of various sizes and under
various geographical and climat ological conditions. A special
effort was made to bridge the gap between theory and practice; case
studies showed that each forecasting system was designed to meet a
set of specific requirements and they illustrated that the
forecasting system can only be expected to operate reliably if, on
the one hand, it is based on sound theoretical concepts and methods
and if, on the other hand, it is robust so that, also under adverse
conditions, it will continue to collect and process the necessary
input data and produce correct and timely signals. We were pleased
to meet with encouragement for preserving the course material and
making it available to a wider public. This was effected by the
team of authorf who elaborated, updated and harmonized the materia
in two stages; first into an issue of our university department and
finally into the manuscript of this book."
