The Mediterranean at the 5th World Water Forum
During the 5th World Water Forum to be held in Istanbul, 16-22 March 2009, the Mediterranean area will be well represented. Indeed, three regional and sub-regional processes will cover the full diversity of the region: the Mediterranean as such (Thursday morning, 19 March in Sultuce building), the MENA/Arab countries (Thursday afternoon) and the in/around Turkey (Wednesday afternoon).
From the point of view of knowledge and data sharing, the theme 6 on "Education, Knowledge and Capacity Development" will be of particular relevance for the EMWIS community, while a side event on Water information systems will be held at the French Pavilion on 18 March 19h-21h.
