Definition of Hydroinformatics
The study of the flow of information and the generation of knowledge
related to the dynamics of water in the real world,
through the integration of modelling, information technologies and artificial intelligence
taking into account sustainability and social implications
for decision support and smart management of water based systems
Hydroinformatics integrates data, models and people4
International recognition of Hydroinformatics
