From 2008-11-04 to 2008-11-04

Venue: Nanjing, China

Summary:
Exacerbated by poverty, growing population, increasing urbanization and industrialization, the rapidly declining available fresh water continues to threaten human existence. It is now a common concern that many cities already are, or will be, unable to provide safe, clean water and adequate sanitation facilities for their citizens. Education, training and awareness-raising have been identified as key elements in forging a worldwide strategy to prepare the cities for the challenges of the 21st century. The proposed training will be on how to link governance challenges with the integrated urban water management, and dissemination, sharing and showcasing results of IHP’s activities on Integrated Urban Water Management.
