News Final NeWater Conference 2008 - Registration is open!

The Final NeWater Conference: "Adaptive Integrated Water Resources Management under Uncertainty - Results from the NeWater Project -" will take place the 17th- 19th of November 2008 in Seville (Spain). 

To help water managers and policy makers to meet the various, often conflicting demands with limited resources, in the face of uncertainty and often lack effective tools, the European NeWater project has further developed the concept of Adaptive Integrated Water Resources Management (AIWM). The concept is based on the notion that the best way to manage water resources is to increase our capacity to learn from experience and adapt to change and uncertainty.

The conference will present the results and experiences from seven different case study basins (Rhine, Elbe, Guadiana and Tisza basins in Europe, the Amudarya in Central Asia, and the Orange and Nile basin in Africa) on climate change scenarios and adaptation strategies as well as training material and guidance for implementing AIWM and an analytical framework to support management transitions such as those needed as a result of climate change.
