Editor's Notes
- WHYCOS has been developed in response to the scarcity or absence of accurate and timely accessible data and information in real or near real time on freshwater resources in many parts of the world, particularly the developing countries, caused by the obsolescence of many observing networks and insufficient data management capabilities Its original concept recognizes that without such baseline data, information and management capacity it is impossible to Promoting a bottom up approach, from the country through the basin to the global scale, WHYCOS primarily focuses on strengthening technical and institutional capacities of National Hydrological Services (NHSs) and improving their cooperation in the management of shared resources. They support the NHS’s to better fulfil their responsibilities, by improving the availability, accuracy, and dissemination of water resources data and information through the development and implementation of appropriate national water resources information systems thereby facilitating its use for sustainable socio-economic development. The programme was launched in 1993 when the World Bank granted US$ 1.7 millions for the implementation of MED-HYCOS project.
- Water demand and water scarcity On global scale water supply per capita have decreased by a third between 1970 and 1990. In 1997, one-third of the world's population was estimated to live under water-stress conditions, while it is expected that by 2025 two-thirds of the population will do so . Irrigated agriculture and hydroelectric power generation compete with other uses for limited water within national boundaries. At the same time, maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems is increasingly accepted as an essential concern Floods and droughts As most of the increase of population and economic activities experienced in the last centuries has been accommodated in flood plains the human and economic costs of floods are becoming more and more important, particularly for the less developed countries. Drought and desertification are also threatening human survival in many regions of the world, increasing vulnerability and pressure on water resources. Internationally shared catchments There are about 300 river basins and numerous aquifers which are shared among two or more nations; competition for water among nations could become a potential source of conflict. In these situations is of paramount importance to ensure that activities in one part of the basin are not detrimental or harmful to actual or potential uses in other parts of it. Climate change Higher temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns as predicted by IPCC climate change scenarios not only lead to decreased water supplies but also cause deterioration of the ecosystem. raising the risk of extreme events such as floods or droughts
- WHYCOS consists of a number of regional components, each of which is independently implemented and responsive to local needs.. Each HYCOS component brings together several hydrological services which have common interests, either because they share a common drainage basin or are in a well-defined geographical and hydrological region and is launched when the countries concerned have expressed their collective desire for such a development, and their commitment to making it a success
- To establish a common conceptual basis and to ensure consistency of practice and results,
- Consider and advise on the concept, objectives, expected benefits/costs, and future development of WHYCOS. Review and assess the status of WHYCOS, and of progress towards its objectives, and propose strategies for any necessary remedial action. Review the relationship of WHYCOS with other relevant international programmes (coordination and avoidance of overlap). Identify and evaluate constraints on and potential risks to the future implementation and sustainability of WHYCOS, and propose strategies to minimise those risks. Consider and propose plans for effective promotion of WHYCOS, and its future sustainability Review and advise on the Terms of Reference and Composition of the WIAG.
