Participation of the UNESCO Chair Team during the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) Scientific Assembly 2017

The Chair Team made two oral presentations in the “Understanding spatio-temporal variability of water resources and the implications for IWRM in the semi-arid east and southern Africa” session, co-convened by WaterNet and UNESCO, and one poster presentation in the “Probabilistic forecasts and land-atmosphere interactions to advance hydrological predictions” Session. 

The following abstracts of the Special Session are part of the Symposium Proceedings:

Kgabi N, Uugwanga M, Ithindi J, Knoeller K, Atekwana E, Motsei L, Mathuthu M, Kalumbu G, Amwele H, Uusizi R, Isotopic composition and elemental concentration of water bodies in the Kuiseb and Cuvelai-Etosha Basin, Namibia, IAHS Scientific Assembly 2017, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 10–14 July 2017 

2. Kgabi N, Uugwanga M, and Ithindi J, Atmospheric Conditions and Precipitation in Arid Environments: A Case of Namibia, IAHS Scientific Assembly 2017, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 10–14 July 2017 

3. Reju S, Mbokoma G, Kgabi N, Modelling the Water-Air Interactions of the Namibian Atmosphere: Meteorological Factors, IAHS Scientific Assembly 2017, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 10–14 July 2017 

The team was invited to submit the two papers for publication in the IAHS Redbook Series. One paper is currently being reviewed. The other paper could not be submitted as the results were already published in another journal.
