Abstract
This proceedings publication contains 39 papers selected for the FRIEND’97 Conference held in Postojna, Slovenia, from 30 September to 4 October 1997. The FRIEND - Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data - large research project within the framework of UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme (IHP) is an international collaborative study on regional hydrology. Since its inception in northern Europe in 1985 it has developed to embrace six major international groups worldwide with around 75 participating countries.  
The objective of this publication is to illustrate theoretical and applied links between regional hydrology and the integrated catchment management systems. The roster of issues tackled in the book ranges from hydrological processes and catchment modelling, through spatial and temporal variability, to hydrological extremes. In accordance with the name of the project, there are also several contributions devoted to variability of hydrological regimes which control our domestic, agricultural, industrial, energy and environmental use of water.
