IAHS CANDHY WORKING GROUP

The CandHy Working Group (WG) aims to stimulate discussion, sharing of knowledge, information, data, ideas fostering scientific and professional exchange of academic, institutional and citizen communities interested in the “Citizen AND HYdrology” topic. CandHy seeks to discover the potential of citizen involvement and crowdsourced data for advancing hydrologic research in water resource and risk management, hydroclimatic risk mitigation and disaster preparedness.  CandHy addresses the challenges stated by IAHS for the scientific decade 2013–2022 entitled ““>Panta Rhei – Everything Flows” on hydrology and society with specific regard to the value of citizen science and crowdsourced data in studying the mutual feedbacks between natural and anthropogenic dynamics.
The focus of CandHy WG is to organize, share and disseminate ideas, tools, data and scientific knowledge gathered from multidisciplinary and trans-sectorial researches developing and testing innovative procedures and tools implementing crowdsourcing collaborative platforms, communication and outreach activities, active citizenship and public participation for water resource management.
