This document provides a summary of the Delft-FEWS user day 2014 covering its past, present, and future. It discusses the early concept of FEWS Sudan in 1990 and attempts to apply it to Pakistan which was more complex. It then outlines the development of various FEWS systems between 2000-2005 for regions like Orlice, Rhine, Switzerland, and Regge and Dinkel rivers. Recent developments discussed include coastal FEWS, dike monitoring, groundwater monitoring, and real-time control systems. Collaboration with water managers and advisory firms is also mentioned.

3. Perhaps some day in the dim future
it will be possible to advance the
computations faster than the
weather advances and at a cost
less than the saving to mankind due
to the information gained. But that is
a dream.
Lewis Fry Richardson, 1921
