CONCLUSIONSOFWGH

15. Onthebasisoftheoutcomes6thWGHworkingmeetingandthediscussionoftheWGHParallelSessionat12thIWS,thefollowingconclusionswerereached:

�� The working meeting of WGH is very important to review hydrologicalactivities, deep technical discussion and implementation status of WGHAOPs,andalso isverynecessary toprepare IWSandannual session.Thefunding support and contribution from the Republic of Korea played thevital role in organizing the annual working meeting in past years. WGHencouragesthemoreandwiderresourcestosupporttheactivitiestokeepitssustainability.

�� To promote the capacity of forecasting, early warning and riskmanagement for urban flood is an urgent need among TC Members,especially urban flood forecasting and inundation mapping. As thesubsequent activity of TC first Cross-cutting project of Urban Flood RiskManagement (UFRM), the on-going project ofWGH onDevelopment andApplication of Operational System for Urban Flood Forecasting andInundationMapping(OSUFFIM)isatangiblemeasureonthisaspectanditwillplayverymeaningfulandimportantroleforTCMemberstopromotethecapacityonthetechniqueofurbanfloodforecastingandwarning.

�� Acquirementofthehighqualityhydrologicaldataisthemostbasicworkinflood forecasting. However, most of TC Members do not have adequatequality control systemof hydrological data. The suggestionofHRFCO fornewAOPregardingdataqualitycontrolsystemisverymeaningful forTCmemberstopromotetheircapacityoffloodforecastingandwarningwithbetterhydrologicaldata.

�� In TC Members, water is considered as the core of sustainabledevelopment and a critical element for its socio-economic development.Wateristhedriverofthekeysectorsof itseconomyandwillremainasacrucial element to sustain its healthy ecosystemwhich eventually affectsthewell-being of its population.Water is a finite resource and it is onlyrenewable if well managed. Water can pose serious challenges tosustainable development but if managed efficiently and equitably, waterwould play a key enabling role in strengthening the resilience of social,economic and environmental systems in the light of rapid andunpredictable changes. Therefore, one of the key elements in managingwater resources is to provide a comprehensive management instrumentwhich could provide multiple functions including accounting for waterresources, providing real time via on-line information and long term(projection) on water availability and variability, an assessment tool toevaluateoperationoptions forefficientwaterallocationanda forecastingsystem to assist in the decision making process. It is necessary andimportant forWGH to conduct the cooperation on ImpactAssessment ofClimate Change on Water Resource Variability among TC Members forimplementationofKRA3ofStrategicPlan2017-2021.

�� EnhancementoftheclosecollaborationwiththeAWGofWMOCHy,WMORA II Working Group on Hydrological Services in several themes ofcommoninterestprovidessignificantbenefitstotheCommittee.

VII. ConclusionofWGH

54) Onthebasisoftheoutcomes6thWGHworkingmeetingandthediscussionoftheWGHParallelSessionat12thIWS,thefollowingconclusionswerereached:

�� Theworkingmeeting ofWGH is very important to review hydrological activities,deeptechnicaldiscussionandimplementationstatusofWGHAOPs,andalsoisverynecessarytoprepareIWSandannualsession.Thefundingsupportandcontributionfrom theRepublicofKoreaplayed thevital role inorganizing theannualworkingmeeting inpastyears.WGHencourages themoreandwider resources to supporttheactivitiestokeepitssustainability.

�� To promote the capacity of forecasting, early warning and risk management forurban flood is an urgent need among TC Members, especially urban floodforecasting and inundationmapping. As the subsequent activity of TC first Cross-cutting project of Urban FloodRiskManagement (UFRM), the on-going project ofWGH on Development and Application of Operational System for Urban FloodForecasting and Inundation Mapping (OSUFFIM) is a tangible measure on thisaspect and it will play very meaningful and important role for TC Members topromotethecapacityonthetechniqueofurbanfloodforecastingandwarning.

�� Acquirementof thehighqualityhydrological data is themostbasicwork in floodforecasting.Atpresent,thereisnohydrologicaldataqualitycontrolsystemrunningwell in TCMember countries. In order to improve the hydro-meteorological dataqualitycontrolsothattopromotethecapacityoffloodforecastingandwarninginTCMembers,itisverymeaningfultodevelopanoperationalsystemfordataqualitycontrolsharingamongMembers.

�� InTCMembers,water isconsideredas thecoreofsustainabledevelopmentandacriticalelement for itssocio-economicdevelopment.Water is thedriverof thekeysectors of its economy andwill remain as a crucial element to sustain its healthyecosystemwhicheventuallyaffectsthewell-beingofitspopulation.Waterisafiniteresource and it is only renewable if well managed. Water can pose serious

18

challenges to sustainable development but if managed efficiently and equitably,water would play a key enabling role in strengthening the resilience of social,economic and environmental systems in the light of rapid and unpredictablechanges. Therefore, one of the key elements in managing water resources is toprovide a comprehensive management instrument which could provide multiplefunctions includingaccountingforwaterresources,providingreal timeviaon-lineinformation and long term (projection) on water availability and variability, anassessment tool to evaluate operation options for efficientwater allocation and aforecasting system to assist in the decision making process. It is necessary andimportant forWGH to conduct the cooperation on Impact Assessment of ClimateChange onWater Resource Variability among TCMembers for implementation ofKRA3ofStrategicPlan2017-2021.

�� Enhancement of the close collaboration with the AWG ofWMO CHy,WMO RA IIWorking Group on Hydrological Services in several themes of common interestprovidessignificantbenefitstotheCommittee.
