Convenors: Kamal El Kadi Abderrezzak (EDF), Ismail Albayrak (ETH Zurich), Silke, Wieprecht (University Stuttgart), Eddy J. Langendoen (USDA) Reservoirs formed by dams are a key part of water resources development, serving various purposes such as flood and drought control, water supply, hydropower, irrigation and inland navigation. Despite these amenities, dam reservoirs have had detrimental morphological...

Convenor: Christoph Hauer (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna) South-Eastern European are special concerning their hydrological and sedimentological regime. Extremes in low- and high flows are accompanied with high erosion rates in the geological diverse mountain catchments. Thus, specific boundaries are given concerning integrative water management, including (i) flood and flood mitigation, (ii)...
