摘要

Hydrology - the science of the water cycle - has a long tradition: the ancient philosophers tried to resolve the mystery of the hydrological cycle. However, even if the general understanding of hydrology has been about right for centuries, typically it was not possible to assess national or global water resources in quantitative terms until the 20th century, when many national hydrological services started systematic water-related observations, collecting data and information. Now, it is broadly recognized that information on how much water is available in time and space is indispensable for socio-economic development and for securing environmental river flows. Information about the mean, variability, dependability and seasonality of water resources, as well as their utilization and control, is available to decision makers. It provides the potential for water resources development, for managing water in an informed way, and for assessing impacts. Water serves competing uses nowadays and water-related information is needed for planning, design and operation of water resources systems (e.g. multi-purpose reservoirs). However, it is not uncommon that construction projects are launched without adequate water resources assessment. Often, all that is available is a short time series of hydrological records, or even no records at all.
