The Second International Symposium on
Flash Floods in Wadi Systems
Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Harvesting in the Arab Region
25 – 27 October 2016

Technische Universität Berlin, Campus El Gouna, Egypt

Supported by:
Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI), DPRI, Kyoto University

Symposium Statement
In recent years, flash floods in Wadi Systems have caused severe damages, especially in the Arabregions. Human life, infrastructure such as roads and buildings as well as the environment areendangered and have been heavily destroyed. Flash floods are caused by extreme weather conditions,
their occurrence is highly random and the associated problems are expected to increase in the near
future due to climate change. On the one hand, there is an urgent need for flash flood protection andrisk reduction, on the other hand, this rainwater can also be considered as a new resource for water
harvesting. On 27th of October 2016, Twenty-six
people have been killed in accidents related to flash
floods in parts of Egypt, state television reported on its
website Saturday 29th October 2016. The deaths
occurred in the provinces of southern Sinai, the Red
Sea and Sohag, areas hardest hit by torrential rains thatstarted on Thursday 27th October 2016, the report said,
citing the Health Ministry. Ras Gharib, in the Gulf ofSuez, was the worst hit area with nine people reported
killed. On Saturday 29th October, Egyptian Prime
Minister visited the Red Sea town of Ras Gharib and inspected the damaged caused by flooding
there, Egyptian television said. Dozens of Ras Gharib residents, angered by the government’s
response to the floods, blocked a main road in the town and prevented PM from completing his tour,
independent newspaper al-Masry al-Youm reported. The protesters chanted slogans against theprime minister, the report said. Last year on 27th October 2015, deadly flash floods hit Alexandria,
Hurghada, Ras Gharib, El Sokhna and North Sinai.

Finding solutions to these challenging problems requires close
collaboration between scientists – established as well as young
ones, - practitioners, and stakeholders from federal and publicorganizations. So we encourage you to contribute to thedevelopment of future solutions and to widen your own
expertise and profile by attending the international symposium.

This event is the second in a new series of annual International
Symposia on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems. Furthermore this
symposium is supported by the Water Resources Research Center(WRRC) and the Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes(GARDI) of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI),
Kyoto University, Japan and Deutsches Wissenschaftszentrum Kairo(DWZ). The First International
Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems held in October 2015 inKyoto, Japan, was attended by about one hundred scientists,
practitioners and stake holders from 11 countries (Japan, Arab Region,
Europe; see http://ecohyd.dpri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/index/1.html). The
Second International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems consists of oral and poster
presentations. It is complemented by a Training Workshop on Numerical Modelling of Extreme
Flash Floods in Arid Region funded by the UNESCO Office Cairo.

25-27 October 2016

Participants
The 2nd ISFF included more than 30 Oral presentations and 20 Poster presentations presented during
three days. Moreover, at the 3rd day Wadi excursion organized and due to the heavy storm on 27th ofOctober the excursion was cancelled due to road cut because of flash floods. Prior to the symposium
additional UNESCO training workshop successfully conducted for 55 participants. We are very
confident that the symposium will contribute to the advancement of knowledge in dealing with flash
floods in Wadi Systems. There are more than 80 participants from 14 countries. The Organizing
Committee would like to very specially acknowledge the organizations mentioned on the previous
page for their generous support, the International Scientific Committee for its advice as well as allother persons who contributed to the success of the event.
