The value of prediction in hydrological science and policy

• What makes a good scientific forecast?• What makes a good forecast for policy-making / decision-making?• How do these differ?

The value of prediction in hydrological science and policy

Scope is wide!• all temporal and spatial scales, e.g.:

• short-term, seasonal and long-term forecasting

• local, regional, global scales• all hydrology-related disciplines, e.g.:

• forecasting of floods and droughts

• water resources management

• climatic change• all types of forecasts, e.g.:

• single valued / deterministic

• probabilistic
