Abstract
The objectives of the symposium, organized within the framework of the IHP were to highlight the problems related to water resources development in arid and semi-arid zones, exchange results of scientific research addressing this issue, and propose strategies for the rational management of water resources under deficit conditions. The proceedings cover the papers presented within three major topics:  
- surface water conditions in arid and semi-arid zones  
- groundwater development in arid and semi-arid zones  
- water resources management with special reference to the Aral Sea Basin.  
The first two topics gather nine papers from different regions of the world, addressing various subjects, from flash floods to reservoir management strategies and artificial recharge. The third topic focuses in depth on the Aral Sea Basin conditions from the physical to the socio-economic aspects, with contributions from Central Asian and other international authors.
