Venue: Pharo Auditorium

Summary:
The scope of the symposium falls within the broad objectives of the urban water component of UNESCO's International Hydrological Programme, and will focus on the water problems of cities and their conurbation. The main theme includes hydrological, technical and managerial aspects, but will also cover the social and economic context. The symposium is intended to stimulate thinking for decisions to be made on the ways water in the urban environment is to be managed, and on how cities should adapt in the future to withstand the pressures on their water dependent systems, including water supply and sanitation services, and not merely survive but add to the quality of life.
