13^th International Riversymposium

Dates: Monday 11^th – Thursday 14^th October 2010
WWW: www.riversymposium.com
Location: Perth, Australia

description

The 13^th International Riversymposium program will focus on moving water and will be a kaleidoscope of activities and fascinating topics from around the globe focusing around 6 key themes:

• Water Sources
• Rivers & Catchments
• Water for Industry
• Policy & Regulations
• Community
• Climate Change

The unimpeded movement of water through wild rivers, environmental flows, estuaries and groundwater as well as moving water across borders, through dams, agriculture, cities and multiple times through industry will be examined. The latest in monitoring techniques and keeping communities engaged and determining the economic values of rivers will be discussed along with the changing states and strategies with impacts of climate change on rivers, discussions about drought and preventing freshwater extinctions as well as some exciting innovations in industry use of water.

The feature sessions and case studies will cut across the 6 key themes to bring examples from different continents, industry and research groups. As usual, the program will encourage interactive discussion as much as possible with 30 minute discussion periods at the end of each session and a number of discussion fora held in the lunchtime breaks.

Those lucky enough to register in time will enjoy building on the feature session content with the study tours and all delegates will share the celebrations of our various award winners.

The program will conclude with an exciting debate around the statement “The oceans are our solution for future water”.
