IWRM Karlsruhe 2010

The IWRM Karlsruhe 2010 convention, which will be accompanied by an exhibition, aims to bundle the international know-how and hands-on expertise on the topic of "Integrated Water Resources Management" and to stimulate the exploitation of this knowledge.

IWRM Karlsruhe 2010 will present the entire field of water management, from computer modelling of water resources through to scenario-based decision support. To accomplish this, IWRM Karlsruhe 2010 is inviting, either directly or as service providers, hands-on users of such systems from municipal and private water suppliers - including those responsible for planning the general conditions - as well as service providers and scientists who provide or are developing IWRM systems.
