The meeting will build on the contributions made in previous conferences, which successfully managed to provide an international view of the problems facing modern cities and their solutions. Urban areas produce a series of environmental problems arising from the consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste and pollution. These problems contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances. All these problems, that continue to grow in our society, require the development of new solutions.

  • Integrated River Basin Management Conference
    Apr. 26th - 28th 2010

This event aims to be a forum of exchanges between policy-makers, stakeholders, and scientists on issues that are closely related to the implementation of EU water policies. Discussions will hence not be limited to the WFD, but will open up to related policies concerning, for example, priority substances, groundwater, floods, climate change adaptation, etc.

  • Novatech 2010
    Jun. 27th - Jul. 1st 2010
    Lyon, France

    The main focus of this 7th International Conference on Sustainable Techniques and Strategies for Urban Water Management is sustainable solutions for management of wet-weather flows in constructed areas (i.e. urban and suburban areas). The conference covers both stormwater management and CSOs. Urban water management under wet-weather conditions faces more and more diverse challenges: protection against flooding and erosion, enhancement of receiving water quality, reduction of sanitary risks, but also opportunities such as stormwater harvesting, use of stormwater for improving the urban landscape or for improving the urban microclimate, as well as the role of ecocitizenship. Moreover, increasing demands on the quality of receiving bodies and of water resources, the worsening of anthropomorphic impacts, as well as likely changes in climate, are adding more complexity to the process. These evolutions lead to a diversification of the required expertise, the scales considered, the criteria of evaluation and the technical solutions proposed. Perspectives beyond traditional urban drainage are required.
