Abstract
The key questions addressed in this sessions were:
-
1.
Do hydrological characteristics of Southern Hemisphere inland waters differ significantly from Northern Hemisphere waters?
-
2.
Do these differences have consequences with broader limnological manifestations?
-
3.
In what way do or should this limnological differences influence Southern Hemisphere water resource management strategies and future research needs?
Management aspects received particular attention in this session because of the tradition of reliance on hydrological information for water resources development and operation.
