Technical Workshop on Drought Risk Analysis, Management and Forecasting; Support to regular sessions of the Hydrological Forum of Mesoamerica and Hispanic Caribbean (in partnership with CRRH), especially aimed at enhancing the relevance and usability of RCOF products and services for to produce Seasonal Hydrological Predictions; Assessment and feasibility of regional projects (Carib-HYCOS II, others). Some key regional activities to be continued through the Virtual Hydrology Forum: Building capacity: adaptation and development of training courses in Hydrology and Water Resources Assessment (2016-2019); Drought Risk Analysis, Management and Prediction: analysis of hazards and vulnerabilities, monitoring, prediction, modelling and communication of warnings (2016-2019); Assessment and Management of Hydrological Networks and Data (2016-2019); To compile experiences on the results of the application of the Flood Warning Systems and prepare a report of inter comparison of results (2016–2018). The WGH was represented at the Annual High Forum (HLF) of the Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA). In addition to introducing WMO to the HLF as the authoritative voice of the UN system on operational hydrology, the valuable experience of the Hydrological Forum of Mesoamerica and Hispanic Caribbean was shared, and a joint CIMH/WMO collaboration was offered in the case that CWWA was interested in developing a similar initiative for the English-speaking Caribbean countries. ________ Annex: 1 ANNEX Complete RA IV WGH-VHF Work Plan 2016-2019 Item RKO Activity Period Responsible Budget No. Share and adapt advances in science Virtual 1 5.2 and software for Hydrological Hydrology Hydrology Prediction and Forecasting Forum Support regular sessions of the Juan Carlos Fallas 40K (10K per 2 3.3 3.4 Central American Hydrological Forum (support from year) (in partnership with CRRH) CRRH) Building capacity: adaptation and David Farrell Virtual development of training courses in 3 3.3 (support from Hydrology Hydrology and Water Resources CIMH) Forum Assessment Drought Risk Analysis, Management David Farrell and Prediction: analysis of hazards Virtual Horacio Rubio 4 3.3 3.4 and vulnerabilities, monitoring, Hydrology (support from prediction, modelling and Forum CIMH) communication of warnings 5 3.3 Meeting of the WGH (Monitoring and 2017 David Farrell 35K
