Integration of informatics into education
Pushed by technology and pulled by society, Informatics and its applications are penetrating our lives at great speed, with considerable effect on work, education and leisure. Educational systems appear to lag behind technological developments. Demands from society, however, will force education to integrate information technology, and also Informatics as a science. Students will study in a multi-disciplinary team environment supported by integrated information technology. And a new Informatics Literacy, based on Discipline Integrated Informatics, will emerge.
Increasing attention is paid to problems concerning water resources planning. It is essential that the hydrological information required is available to the planner in a form that facilitates combination with other types of information. ::: ::: This paper describes the development of a system for calculation and presentation of regional and comprehensive hydrological information. Main components of the system are the interpolation routines, a water balance model adapted to the space and time scale and a data base for supporting information. Examples of presentations are given.
