Last word H ydrologists from all over the country gathered in Pretoria for the 16th National Hydrology Symposium, held at the University of Pretoria, in October. The conference was presented by the South African National Committee of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (SANCIAHS) and organised jointly by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and the Department of Water Affairs (DW A). The event offered a unique opportunity for students to rub shoulders with some of the greatest names in the South African hydrology sector. With the theme ‘Hydrology in a Changing Environment: Science and Policy Interface’ , the symposium paid particularly attention to the management of the country’s finite water resources in the face of potential climate change impacts.
