Hydrology is a science that deals with the origin, circulation, distribution of waters on earth, its physical and chemical actions, its interrelations with the biological environments and effects on human activities. The purposes of the international project is intended to expedite the hydrologic research among the nations for effective control and maximum uses of water and to make the survey of hydraulic resources for the benefits of the human community as a whole.

Since our country suffers every year considerable damages in property and human lives by the drought and flood, we have an urgent need for the hydrologic research and therefore, we extended our fuul cooperation to this international project.
