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
