21st IHP Training Course is finished!!

The 21^st IHP Training Course on "Introduction to River Basin Environment Assessment under Climate Change" was held at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University from 28 November to 9 December 2011 and attended by 16 participants from 12 countries. 

The 20^th IHP Nagoya Training Course  "Introduction to River Basin Environment Assessment under Climate Change"  was organized by the Institute of Hydrospheric-Atmospheric Sciences of Nagoya University in collaboration with the Water Resources Research Center, DPRI, Kyoto University. The course was also supported by Global Center for Education and Research on Human Security Engineering for Asian Megacities, Kyoto University, Global Center for Education and Research on Sustainability Science for Resilient Society Adaptable to Extreme Weather Conditions, Kyoto University.It was held in Kyoto, Japan, from 28 November to 9 December 2011 and attended by  16 participants from 12 countries (8 of which supported by UNESCO Office, Jakarta, through the Japanese FIT). The course included 8 lectures in English, field tour, and 4 practice sessions. All lectures in the 21st IHP Training course were also broadcasted through point-to-point connection and video conference.

The 21^st IHP Training course was focused on three major objectives: (1) to acquire the latest knowledge on hydrological and environmental assessment under climate changes at river basin scale in the Asia-Pacific region, (2) to make practice for selected topics on successful simulations to make use of the river basin environment assessment, and  (3) to discuss the possibility to apply the river basin environment assessment into some hydrological and environmental managements.
