  - "For many years considerable efforts have been put into investigating and modelling
    hydrological processes of mountainous catchments. On the one hand, the complexity
    and intrinsically high variability of the involved processes as well as insufficient
    knowledge of the underlying physical mechanisms still induce large uncertainties
    in understanding observed phenomena and predicting the behaviour of the system.
    On the other hand, the demand for models that are able to simulate mountainous
    water resource systems is increasing because of the needs related to both water
    exploitation and water conservation, which clearly call for an integrated vision
    and modelling of these systems.\r\nAccordingly, this paper moves from a brief
    survey of the most significant achievements in mountain hydrology to discuss what
    could be future challenging issues related to the broader spectrum of questions,
    which hydrologic modelling of mountainous river systems may face in the next decades.
    Firstly, reference is made to existing methodologies for modelling alpine water
    systems, focussing on some specific aspects that provide a basis for the discussion
    of the weaknesses and perspectives of present simulation tools. The future is
    thus discussed, delineating some of the research challenges that may foster a
    comprehensive and integrated vision of water related issues in mountainous regions.@eng"
