International Hydrological Programme

Integrated Basin Management under Changing Climate

The 30th IHP Online Training Course OTC- Kyoto

1st December – 10th December, 2020
By Kyoto University, Japan

Water Resources Research Center, Disaster Prevention Research Institute,Kyoto University
Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University

Outline
The On-line Training Course (OTC) on integrated basin management strategies, which aims to present,
via internet, aspects of water resources and water-related disasters under climate change for participantsfrom Asia-Pacific regions as a part of Japanese contribution to the UNESCO International HydrologicalProgramme (IHP). The OTC composed of a series of lectures, model practices, field visit for your local
target river basin and self-paced practicing of various software’s will be held at Disaster Prevention
Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University during 1st December to 10th December 2020.

Objectives
The on-line training course is oriented to the study of integrated basin management: hydrologicalextreme analysis, assessing the impacts of climate change, rainfall-runoff-inundation modelling,reservoir sustainability, optimum operation and management, as well as knowledge of theinterrelationship with river ecosystem and environment. Development of resilient society has become an
inevitable issue under the recent climate change increasing the frequency of extreme phenomena such as
unprecedented floods and severe droughts. In order to make our society more resilient for such
unprecedented extremes, social adaptation and countermeasure are required based on technologies forprediction and vulnerability assessments to meet the requirements of future water availability underchanging climate.
In light of the Focal Area 1.1 “Risk management as adaptation to global change” and 1.2“Understanding coupled human and natural processes” under the Theme 1 “Water related disasters underhydrological change” of the IHP-VIII, the 30th IHP OTC Kyoto will give an opportunity for participants:
1) to acquire the latest knowledge on climate change impacts on water resources, water and weather
related disasters, hydrological measurements of large river basins and ecosystem services, 2) to make apractice on rainfall-runoff-inundation analysis at river basin scale, and 3) to discuss effective strategiesof integrated basin management based on scientific knowledge to realize a resilient society under climatechange.

Virtual or Self-Guided Field Visits
Due to current pandemic situation worldwide, the virtual or self-guided field visits are applied. Please
select the target river basin for your case study and required presentations.
Examples:1- River Basin nearby your current Residential Area;
2- River Basin within your Home Country;
3- River Basin Worldwide based on your interest.

RequirementsIHP-Training course participants should be reasonably proficient in English to understandlectures. Several software’s such as Fortran compiler, OpenGrADS should be setup in yourlaptop PC before the training. Moreover, trainees should be familiar with the selected target
river basin in their region.

Oral presentations and talks by trainees3

As described in the program all trainees will be asked to provide various oral presentations
and talks:
1- Self-introduction and country report (1st of December 2020)
2- Report presentation related to your selected case study of target river basin (10th December2020)
3- Talks during the closing ceremony and awarding of IHP-TC certificate of completion

Training course materials
The training course materials will be available on our website (http://ecohyd.dpri.kyotou.ac.jp/en/index/ihptc2020.html) in due course. The trainees are requested to download them inadvance for preparation for the training course.

Instructions
After receiving your registration form, we will announce Zoom ID to access the online IHPTC lectures and exercises. We will have a trial online session one day before the official start.
If you have any questions and concerns, please feel free to contact us. We are looking forward
to seeing you soon.
