Sommario/riassunto

"New research opportunities to advance hydrologic sciences promise a better understanding of the role of water in the Earth system that could help improve human welfare and the health of the environment. Reaching this understanding will require both exploratory research to better understand how the natural environment functions, and problem-driven research, to meet needs such as flood protection, supply of drinking water, irrigation, and water pollution. Collaboration among hydrologists, engineers, and scientists in other disciplines will be central to meeting the interdisciplinary research challenges outline in this report. New technological capabilities in remote sensing, chemical analysis, computation, and hydrologic modeling will help



scientists leverage new research opportunities"--Publisher's description.

Sommario/riassunto

Violence against women is not a new phenomenon nor are its consequences to women's physical mentaland reproductive health. What is new is the growing recognition that acts of violence against



women arenot isolated events but rather form a pattern of behaviour that violates the rights of women and girls limitstheir participation in society and damages their health and well-being. When studied systematically as wasdone with this report it becomes clear that violence against women is a global public health problem thataffects approximately one third of women globally. By compiling and analysing a
