Conference of the Global Catchment Initiative (GCI) "The Global Dimensions of Change in River Basins - Threats, Linkages and Adaptation" 6-8 December 2010
July 03, 2010
An important new
insight in river basin research and management is that water in its various
forms "operates" in complex social, ecological and economic sectors
forming an interlinked system of a much larger scale than an individual river
basin or large aquifer. This new awareness of interconnectivities has spawned
the concept of the "global water system", which in return bears
important implications for upcoming research. Focus will need to move beyond
river basins to seek sustainable solutions within the context of the global
water system.
The aim of the conference is to review the state-of-the-art research, advance
understanding and foster dialogue with professionals and policy makers
concerning global aspects of river basins and their management.
