RECENT: 2012 - Stockholm World Water Week - 3R Consortium and FAO presenting on Upscaling water storage solutions: the economic potential.

(Thursday 30 August 2012, 9:00 – 12:30, Room K21)

This practical session has set the arena to discuss the main challenges for the business case of up-scaling ‘water storage solutions’ for water and food security. Buffering water above and under the ground offers solutions for both water and food security. Whether creating water storage in tanks, ponds and reservoir or retaining water in the soil or recharging aquifers, water buffers are the means to address water scarcity. The challenge is however to upscale interventions taking into account both technical and economical viability.
