Abstract: The theme of this conference,I perceive,is"Hydraulic Research for Water Managenent in theEighties"。Now,setting aside political and otherlike illogical processes of decision making,WaterManagement is in essence an engineering problem;that is to say,there is no correct answer,only atechnically best one within the constraints operat-ing at the time.Unlike a pure scientific problemit will probably not be possible to satisfy all theconflicting requirements so a compromise must befound.Mumerical modelling,which is the topic ofthis session,I believe,is a process which dis-plays these features.
