Call for Submissions // IAHS 2017 Scientific Assembly
For the forthcoming Scientific Assembly of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, focussed ob "Water And Development: Scientific Challenges In Addressing Societal Issues" and taking place in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 10-14 July 2017, researchers are asked for their submissions. Deadline is 14 February 2017.
The scientific programme of the IAHS Scientific Assembly includes the Nexus topic "Water security and the food-water-energy nexus: drivers, responses and feedbacks at local to global scales". Other topics also have nexus relevance.
