Outline
A short training course on water resources and water related disasters under climate change
will be programmed for participants from Asia-Pacific regions as a part of Japanesecontribution to the International Hydrological Program (IHP). The course composed of aseries of lectures, practice sessions and technical visits will be held mainly at Di saster
Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University during the two weeks from 29
November to 12 December 2009.
Objectives
Global climate change has become an inevitable issue in the fields on water resources andhydro-hazards since the recent climate change has an obviously inclination to increase
frequency of extreme phenomena including severe drought and unprecedented flood. We need,therefore, to notice the regional trends of climate change, to predict and assess the future
status of water resources and hydro-hazards, and to adapt our social system to such uncertain
conditions.
The 19th IHP training course is focused on three major objectives: (1) to learn recent
knowledge on water resources and water related disasters under climate chan ge in
Asia-Pacific regions, (2) to make practice for selected techniques on prediction andassessment of global, regional and/or local changes in hydrological systems, and (3) todiscuss strategies of adaptation to resultant hydrological systems under the climate change
including efforts for problem prevention and mitigation with respect to irreplaceable water
resources.
