and focus on the interdisciplinary aspects of scientific and applied water resource management. They aim to link the perspectives of the scientist, the land management practitioner, and those involved in policy formulation through consideration of the problems caused by pollution, land erosion, and environmental degradation. The publication contains state-of-the-art presentations on relevant methodologies and techniques; papers that identify the needs for future developments; and others that evaluate alternative land management, environmental protection and land reclamation practices and policies. The conference was a contribution to UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme (IHP-V) "Hydrology and water resources development in a vulnerable environment". In addition to this IAHS proceedings volume the following publications were produced for HeadWater’98:
