From 2001-07-18 to 2001-07-27

Venue: Maastricht, The Netherlands

Summary:
The main objective of the Scientific Programme is firstly to review the problem of the water related threats to social and economic development, then to probe what went wrong, what we have learnt to date and how to cope with a fast-changing global environment, and finally to establish what needs to be done in the future (Concluding Session).

Maastricht 2001 wishes to pay particular attention in its symposia and workshops to the unique challenges of water scarcity and availability in developing countries. These countries are often faced with economic and bureaucratic constraints. These constraints are juxtaposed with problems of infrastructure, socio-economic development and maintenance in areas frequently associated with high climatic susceptibility (e.g. water availability and storage). The primary focus of the Scientific Assembly is to encourage participation and foster communication for developing viable solutions to effective water resources management.
