Mediterranean Days on Water Information Systems

Obviously, water is the most vital natural resource for our own survival, thus preserving it is crucial. Achieving this objective requires more involvement from water users and those participating in the management of water resources by raising awareness and providing information about this resource.

The key is the use of, Water Information System (WIS), which allows the following: the production, the collection, the archiving, the development, and the availability of data around this natural resource.

What is a WIS? What’s its composing? How can we implement it? What are the available technologies required for such a system? What are the existing experiences in this area? And what would be the opportunities and at the same time the limits of development?

The answer to these questions and many more will be given and explained and discussed during the International Congress ”WIS Med’s Day” (Water Information System Med Day’s) to be held in Rabat (Morocco) the days 19-21 March 2014.

It was an initiative of the Moroccan Association of Young Geometricians (MAYG) who organize it in partnership with other actors.

The opening ceremony is scheduled on 19/03 with the presentation of the Nobel Prize "Peace" Mr. Michel BOKO (Theme: Climate Change).

Several organisations and national & international experts (from several countries: Germany, Spain, France, Jordan, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia..) will participate, among others: the German Technical Cooperation (GIZ), a representative of the Moroccan Minister Delegate to the "Minister of Energy, Mining, Water and Environment, for Water";  the Euro-Mediterranean Information System on know-how in the Water sector (EMWIS), the National Office of Potable Water (ONEP), YES Network, Jordanian Ministry of Water & Irrigation..
