| Zusammenfassung |
| The assessment of the societal impact of hydrological extremes is
particularly important in mountain regions, since mountains can be
considered both as the generators and victims of extreme events. ICT can
provide a powerful tool for transmitting hydro-meteorological information to
predict, prepare and adapt to such events. However, in remote regions, such
as mountains, the poles, deserts and islands, preventive and adaptive
measures are often restricted by data availability and lack and/or
incoherence of data networks. This paper distinguishes between early warning
of floods and droughts, emphasising the latter in particular in mountains
and explores the possibilities of enhancing the role of society in data
collection, the identification, activation and application of stakeholder
knowledge and transferral of data from gauged to ungauged catchments. |
