Hydrological Science Research in Canada

Beginning in December 1998, the Canadian Society of Hydrological Sciences (CSHS) and the Canadian Water Resources Association (CWRA) undertook a critical review of Hydrological Science Research in Canada and prepared a reports in 3 parts. Part 1, published in 1998, is an inventory of ongoing research activities in Canada. Part 2, published in September 1999, presents the practitioners’ views of the needs in hydrological research. Part 3, published in 2000, includes a comparison of the current and emerging needs of the practicing hydrology community given current research. Gaps, impediments to filling these gaps, and recommendations for improvement are identified. 

The three reports can be viewed as PDFs by following the links below.

Part 2: Hydrological Science Research in Canada: The Practioners’ View - not yet posted
Part 3: Hydrological Science Research in Canada: Gaps, Issues and Needs [PDF]

Sincere thanks is extended to those individuals who took the time to contribute their knowldge and opinions to the development of these reports.
