Friday, 13 September 2019 in Liège (Belgium).
The objective of this symposium is to share and exchange knowledge on hydrological modelling and water-related processes (in the widest sense) in the Meuse catchment on a scientific basis. Target audience are all scientists, water managers and stakeholders that feel connected to the Meuse basin.
This year’s edition of the symposium series starts with a session on integrated river management. The second session is about hydrological modelling and includes the hydrological modelling exercise that has been initialized during the first edition of the symposium in 2013 and since then has been a recurring topic of the symposium. The afternoon sessions are dedicated to water quality and aquatic environment and operational water management, hydraulics and morphology.
