WHYCOS - The goalsWHYCOS - The goals
A WMO global framework programme aiming at: improving the basic observation activities and
data management
strengthening international cooperation and data
exchange
WORLD HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE OBSERVING SYSTEM – WHYCOSWORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION – HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES PROGRAMME
Need for WHYCOSNeed for WHYCOS
Scarcity or absence of data and information on freshwater resources
Obsolescence of observing networks
Insufficient data management capabilities
Institutional weakness of National Hydrological Services
WORLD HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE OBSERVING SYSTEM – WHYCOSWORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION – HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES PROGRAMME
The challengeThe challenge
Increased water demand
Reduction or deterioration of available resources
Floods and droughts
Impacts of climate change
Management of shared resources
