Discussions

Sub-working groups are formed under National WGs.

It is desired the themes of sub-groups would correspond to the 6 thematic themes described in the PUB Science and Implementation plan.

Discussion 1How do you think about the structure of NWGs and TWGs?

Questionnaire 10

New International Thematic WGsNew model approaches and applications to water resources managements (China)Hydrologic and hydraulic response modeling of natural variations and human impacts (Korea)

Proposed WGsWater resources modeling and assessment (Nepal)Erosion assessment in ungauged basins (Nepal)

Discussion 2Do you need new international thematic WG and theme?

Climate, Topography, Land use, Water Use, Scale, Available Data etc. are quite different.

Knowledge, Information, Methods, Models in Gauged Basins

Hydrologic Prediction in Ungauged Basins

Trans-Regional Hydrological Trans-Regional Hydrological ModelsModels

Questionnaire 11

Is it possible to establish a PUB catchment and to provide hydrologic data?

All the countries say yes/possible.

Discussion 3Common PUB catchments and data.What kinds of Data is requested?Procedure to provide data?Condition to provide data?What organization will take a lead?

Questionnaire 8

Is what national/international committee might wish to be involved in a PUB (M)NWG?

IHP Korean National Committee (Korea)ISCIMOD (Nepal)

Discussion 4 (Recommendation)Synergy of other international programs in Asia, such as

Monsoon Asian Hydro-Atmosphere Scientific Research and Prediction Initiative (MAHASRI) as PostGAME

Global Earth Observation of a System of Systems (GEOSS) in Asia.

Etc.

Discussion 5 PUBlications

Hydrological Processes Special Issue - AOGS2006 Problem: Publication of “Advances in Geosciences 2006-

Hydrological Science” will be intended. I need co-conveners, and hopefully would like to have 20 presentations.

- APHW2006 Problem: Independent PUB session will not be organized. Joint

session with some other relevant international program will be organized.
