About the author

Schalk Jan van Andel (1978) graduated (with distinction) for his MSc degree in Integrated and quantitative water management from Wageningen University (2003). He specialised in the development and application of hydrological and hydrodynamic models. After graduating he worked as a specialist water management with HydroLogic, The Netherlands, and as a project officer with the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP). In 2004 he joined UNESCO-IHE (Hydroinformatics and Knowledge Management department where he started the PhD research presented in this dissertation. At present Schalk Jan is a lecturer in Hydroinformatics at UNESCO-IHE, Delft, The Netherlands. His research interest concerns the application of meteorological data and forecasts in operational water management.

Summary

The use of weather forecast information with hydrological models can be invaluable for the operational water manager to expand the forecast horizon and to have time to take appropriate action. This title presents ways of improving the end-use of ensemble predictions in Anticipatory Water Management.
