3R Seminar at the Stockholm World Water Week 2011
"Integrated Management of Urban Water Buffering:
From Research to Implementation"
Sunday 21 August 2011, 9:00 – 12:30,
Room K21
Are you already familiar with 3R solutions and practices? How does it make the difference in urban settings? Urban water supply systems often do not reach the entire city. Water recharge, retention and re-use solutions provide hands-on means to secure safe water supply as well as mitigating flooding in urban environments. This includes not only the safe use of the natural water buffer that the shallow groundwater provides, but also the use of the storage in deeper aquifers, the potential for rainwater harvesting in a variety of ways and the opportunities to enhance water conservation in urban planning and storm water management.
The expected outputs of the seminar are:
(1) a better understanding of practical implementation challenges by scientists and
(2) an increased knowledge base for practitioners in the field of urban water resources management.
Convenors: Acacia Water, Aqua for All, BGR, MetaMeta, RAIN Foundation and UN-Habitat, in an integrated session with GIZ and UFZ..
Sponsors:
Aqua for all, BMZ, BGR, UN-Habitat, Rainwater Harvesting Implementation Network (RAIN), UFZ.
