Background: FRIEND-Water (Flow Regime from International Experimental and Network Data) is an international collaborative network of experts of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP). Established in 1985, it aims to generate new understanding about regional hydrology and multi-scale water cycle processes.   FRIEND-Water is investigating long-term variations and changes in hydrological regimes to better understand the climate and river basin controls, as well as influence of humans on the spatial and temporal distribution of water.   As a flagship initiative of IHP IX (2022-2029) FRIEND-Water aims to put science to action for a Water Secure World. FRIEND-Water research is critical for: water resources management, socio-economic development, secure livelihoods, safeguard the environment, and assessing the impact of global change. The FRIEND-Water initiative is currently structured in 8 regional groups: West and Central Africa, Europe, Mediterranean, Latin America and Caribbean, Southern Africa, Asia Pacific, Nile, Congo.   The FRIEND-Water programme complements and interacts with many national and international projects and initiatives: Ecohydrology-IHP, International Sediment Initiative (ISI), the International Drought Initiative (IDI), the International Floods Initiative (IFI), the International Sediment Initiative (ISI), the Global Network on Water and Development Information for Arid Lands (GWADI), the WMO/GWP Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP), World's Large Rivers Initiative (WLRI), among others.   The Global FRIEND conference takes place every 4 years with previous editions in Norway, Germany, Slovenia, South Africa, Cuba, Morocco, France and China.
