Water Resources Assessment in the Caribbean

Among the cross-cutting projects of the International Hydrological Programme is that on Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data (FRIEND).

The several regional projects of FRIEND include the AMIGO initiative in Central America and the Caribbean, which aims: (a) to improve the knowledge of the time-space variability of the hydrological cycle at the regional scale; (b) to share data from different experimental networks; (c) to share tools for the analysis of the regional hydrology; (d) to detect regional tendencies of the hydrological cycle, affected by variability and climate change; (e) to detect the impact of human activities on the hydrological cycle.

Activities in 2005 and thereafter include: (a) enlarging the database on ‘minimum hydrological events’; (b) improving collaboration with institutions and projects at a regional level (including the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology and the UNDP project on drought in the Caribbean); (c) support to doctoral and masters theses related to the project objectives.
