Río de Janeiro-Brazil, 7-12 November 1999.Sustainable Urban Water Management (1998-2006)
The existing water and wastewater systems of Sweden´s towns and cities supply their communities with clean drinking water and dispose of sewage in a hygienic manner. But they do not meet all the requirements of sustainability.
SWITCH - Managing Water for the City of the Future (2004-09)
SWITCH is the name of a five year action research programme, co-funded by the European Commission and implemented by a cross-disciplinary team of 33 partners and 13 cities in 15 countries around the world.
Tools and Knowledge for Cleaner Water (1999-2006)
Eutrophication of the Baltic Sea and Sweden´s lakes and watercourses is a complex environmental problem that affects many different stakeholders, countries and administrative levels in society. An all-round approach, with the backing of all parties concerned, is therefore needed to solve the problem.
The Water Dialogue (Vattendialogen) project was initiated to prompt discussion among researchers and practitioners on how sharing of knowledge and experience can help bring about more sustainable aquatic resource management. The project has now been concluded, but the dialogue continues.
Water, Land and People -- Voices & insights from 3 continents (Bolivia, India, Mali, 2007)
Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) has gained international recognition as an appropriate framework for meeting the challenges of water scarcity. IWRM is fully supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), where experts asked themselves how they and their partners could learn together and in an innovative and forward-looking way from the wealth of existing experience in water and watershed management.
Network for Environmental Risk Assessment & Management (Waterloo, ON)
IRR (Institute for Risk Research) and NERAM (Network for Environmental Risk Assessment and Management) are located at the University of Waterloo and were founded in 1981 & 1995 respectively. They are networks of expertise in risk management for the environment (NERAM) and risk in general (IRR).
Both networks are funded by partners in industry and government as well as from research contracts, and sale of publications. All work done is peer reviewed and published to ensure that all activities are fully independent and of the highest quality. According to opportunities for support the two networks sponsor conferences, workshops and in-house research. Please contact us at irr-neram "AT" uwaterloo.ca for more information or to access the substantial expertise that exists in the network.
