The SHIBATANI GROUP Inc. has long appreciated the importance of
international collaboration and scientific information exchange. In
this universal age of global communication, technology is not limited
by geography; and hydrology remains a dynamic science set upon the
global stage. We remain active and aggressive in the international
water resources and hydrology community through our participation and
Task Force involvement in numerous organizations.
- International Water Resources Association (IWRA)
- International Water Association (IWA)
- Specialist Group Member on Climate Change and Adaptation - UK/Netherlands
- Task Force Member on Retreating Glaciers and Snowpacks – Washington
- Task Force Member on Arid Landscapes - Australia
- International Water Association (IWA) Joint Specialist Group Conference on Water Management and Climate - Australia 2011
- International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) - International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS)
- International Association for Environmental Hydrology (IAEH)
- Canadian Water Resources Association/Association Canadienne des Resources Hydrique (CWRA/ACRH)
- British Hydrological Society (BHS)
Our technical interest in watershed physical hydrology keeps us attuned
to the ever changing scientific and applied hydrology fields in many
important areas.
- REA streamflow response processes
- Naturally occurring isotope hydrology
- Event and pre-event water basin pulses
- Nearstream capillary fringe effects
- Snowmelt energy balance
- Ambient watershed storage
- Natural variability versus stressor simulation
- Scaling factors in watershed runoff forecasting
- Spatial heterogeneity in the phreatic/vadose zones
- Aesthetic and amenity values of impounded waters
"International cooperation, multilateralism is indispensable"
Water resources are not confined to administrative boundaries; true water resources management must span the globe.
