First Announcement of Final NeWater Conference

Adaptive Integrated Water Resources Management under Uncertainty - Results from the NeWater Project
November 17th - 19th 2008, Seville

Water managers and policy makers face many challenges. They have to meet various, often conflicting demands with limited resources, face much uncertainty (e.g. concerning climate change) and often lack effective tools. To help them to meet these challenges, 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.

Summary of Synthesis Products 2008 online

A process for the synthesis process has been discussed and decided by the PICP. The synthesis process has to be understood as a joint effort by all NeWater partners. While the formal part of the review of NeWater concentrated on contracted products like deliverables, synthesis products should go beyond deliverable and somehow wrap up NeWater research insights and products. These synthesis products a shall be visible as major NeWater output and be usable for related target groups when NeWater stops. The dissemination and promotion efforts for synthesis products will be more intensively than for other NeWater products. By this concentration on a small selection we hope to get attention for the core messages/results/products of NeWater.
About 25 suggestions for synthesis products have been discussed in an intensive discussion process. Finally the NeWater general assembly agreed consentaneously on a list of twelve synthesis products.
