The International Conference on Water Resources and Environment Research opened on Sunday, June 5th with a welcome icebreaker. The actual conference was opened the next day with a keynote speech from Prof. Eiichi Nakakita from the Kyoto University, who spoke on the SOUSEI project, that ICHARM is also a part of, which has as goal to integrate research activities on climate change and natural hazards.
Another presentation of importance today was given by Guillermo Q. Tabios III, who chaired the topic of Sustainable Water Resources Management (G14). His presentation was titled "Multipurpose, Single High Dam versus Multiple Dam System for Balog-Balog Irrigation Project in the Philippines", and detailed the costs and water usages of several dams in the Philippines.
Several posters were already put up in the exhibition space, including two from ICHARM researchers. Among others, the topics covered factors influencing attitudes toward climate change, restoring rivers to favor spawning locations of Ayu fish, applying the Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation model on the lower Mekong river basin, and an estimation of the future flood risk of the Indonesian Solo river basin.
