From 2008-11-15 to 2008-11-19

Venue: Leuven, Belgium

Summary:
This international conference intends to bridge the gap between the disciplines of water management, ecology and the approaches of engineering, urban design and spatial planning. Sessions will develop a series of themes, discussing the historical relationship between water systems and human settlements, and related management problems regarding urban floods, water use and water sanitation. In each session, presentations are invited on problem definition, technical and design-based solutions, but also on boundary conditions of exogenous, political or economical nature.

Organizers: K.U. Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Institute for Environment and Sustainability of the European Commission
