From 2005-03-10 to 2005-03-11

Venue: Federal Institute of Hydrology, Koblenz, Germany

Summary:
Water value focuses on the very complex relationship that exists between people with different cultural backgrounds and their water resources. How can cooperation be improved? How can water-related conflicts be solved? And how can socio-economic, cultural, ecological and other values be incorporated into the planning and management of water resources under conditions of water stress? The workshop will provide a forum for presenting and discussing these questions.

Organizers: The workshop is jointly organized by the German and Dutch National Committees of the IHP/UNESCO and HWRP/WMO, together with the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC)
