Dear colleague,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee I would like to draw your attention
to the forthcoming 4th EGU Leonardo Conference on the Hydrological Cycle:

HYDROLOGY AND SOCIETY:
Connections between Hydrology and Population dynamics, Policy making and
Power Generation.

The Leonardo Conferences are complementary to the EGU General Assembly:
they are focused on a specific topic and foster an intensive exchange among
a limited group of participants.

The 2012 EGU Leonardo Conference will be held in Torino, Italy on 14-16
November 2012. Main themes around which we encourage a multi-disciplinary
participation are:

- Hydrology and Demographic pressure under global change:
Societal adaptations and human induced land changes on catchment hydrology
Virtual water trade and food security
Desertification and primary water requirements
Open science (data and tools) for sustainable development

- Hydrology and water policies
Opportunities and problems in the implementation of the international
protocols and EU environmental legislation
EU and international programs impact on the research in Hydrology
Economic policy instruments and regulations measures for water management

- Hydrology and Power availability for sustainable development
Environmental sustainability and water conflicts related to hydropower
Hydrological tools for assessing policies of hydropower efficiency
Climatological implications in energy production from the sea
Water-related energy issues in developed and emerging countries

- Cross-cutting Theme: Governance of Water-related Risks

Financial support has been requested to cover expenses of a limited number
of participants from developing countries.
Final abstract deadline is June 15, 2012.
