This list is intended to introduce and promote Hydroinformatics in our Asian-Pacific region in order to help improve the existing knowledge flows. From there we could help improve the quality of life for all people living in the region.



The interplay between the world of the waters and own intercessions in this world is dictated entirely by flows of information. We accordingly give this interplay a special name: we call it hydroinformatics, as a joining together of our view upon the hydrosphere of our planet - the world of the waters - and our information flows. Hydroinformatics actually extends further than measuring and computing, as it must take cognisance of legal aspects of water use, and even more general social aspects again, but still it treats all these in terms of information flows. Hydroinformatics is then the principal way that water engineers now go about their work in the world of the waters.
