DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the celebration of World Water Day\, ISPRA 
 intends to present the 2025 update of the estimates of the components of t
 he hydrological balance and the natural availability of renewable water re
 sources provided by the  BIGBANG model – GIS-Based Hydrological Balance 
 at the National Scale on a Regular Grid . The presentation will also inclu
 de assessments of the 2025 drought conditions and long-term hydro-climatic
  statistics.   The BIGBANG assessments at the national and river basin dis
 trict scale for total precipitation\, evapotranspiration\, aquifer recharg
 e\, and water resource availability (the so-called “internal flow”) co
 nstitute the official national data for the  WISE SoE – Water Quantity (
 WISE-3 ) data flow and for the evaluation of the Water Exploitation Index 
 Plus (WEI+)\, within the framework of the  Water Framework Directive 2000/
 60/EC \, as well as for the reporting requirements of the OECD/Eurostat Jo
 int Questionnaire on Inland Waters.   Furthermore\, starting from the  Nat
 ional Statistical Programme 2023–2025 \, the National Hydrological Balan
 ce indicators produced through the BIGBANG model constitute official stati
 stics within  SISTAN – the National Statistical System.    The Workshop 
 is part of ISPRA’s national activities on hydrological characterization 
 and will also provide an opportunity to present the new seasonal forecasti
 ng service for hydrological balance and water availability developed by th
 e Institute within the  Italian initiative for the National Collaboration 
 Programme (NCP) of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) \, promoted
  by the  ECMWF – European   Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts \,
  which operates the Copernicus Service on behalf of the European Union.   
 In addition\, future estimates based on climate projections of surface run
 off\, aquifer recharge\, and water resource availability will be presented
 \, also with a view to assessing hydropower production.   During the morni
 ng session\, application examples of the BIGBANG products will be presente
 d\, ranging from the national scale to the local scale.   In-person partic
 ipation in the Workshop  requires registration for the event  and will be
  possible until the maximum number of available seats in the venue is reac
 hed.    Program
