Summary:Many spatial aspects of hydrology and water management are discussed in these proceedings of the 7th International Water Resources Management Conference of IAHS-ICWRS. Spatial aspects of water supply and the redistribution of benefits from water Floods and spatial aspects of flood risks Spatial aspects of water scarcity Scale problems of water management – when the summation of individual measures becomes a problem Hydrological regionalization issues The spatial dimension in socio-hydrology The response of the scientific community was very unevenly distributed. Floods are hotspots of applied hydrology and so many different research questions were raised in these contributions, e.g. methods for design flood estimations, impact assessments and operational flood forecasting.
