SUMMARY:Workshop on "Water Demand Under Extreme Events: Implications for Cities"
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Water Policy\, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy\, National University of Singapore\, and the International Journal of Water Resources Development are organising a workshop on “Water demand under extreme hydrological events: Implications for cities”\, 23-24 March 2020 in Singapore. \nImpacts of extreme hydrological events\, including floods\, droughts\, typhoons and hurricanes\, are increasing all over the world. They are affecting human security and welfare and impacting upon the functional integrity of cities in terms of their increasing unpredictability. Flooding and related events are short-lived and difficult to predict both temporally and in terms of their spatial focus\, whereas droughts may be multi-year events that intensify through time. They are also testing our ability to reliably forecast and manage them. \nExtreme hydrological events are multifaceted phenomena and are challenging the current planning\, management and adaptive capacities of cities in both the developed and developing world. The numerous interconnected issues for managing such events in cost-effective and socially-acceptable forms are impacting not only upon water institutions\, but also upon city planning ones. This has made the process to understand\, predict and manage them exceedingly complex. Furthermore\, effective communication with the general public to reach a common social understanding of how much risk may be socially acceptable so that implementable policy decisions are taken has become extremely complex as well. \nThe focus of this 2-day workshop will include\, but will not be limited to\, discussions on the following topics\, especially in terms of planning\, policy\, management\, governance implications\, implementation constraints and lessons learnt\, both positive and negative: \n• Urban water governance practices and processes for managing current and future extreme hydrological events.\n• Vulnerability of current water supply\, wastewater and stormwater management under extreme conditions and preparedness and disaster warning systems for such systems.\n• Case studies of cities affected by extreme hydrological events as to what have been their short- and long-term water-management strategies\, including what has worked\, what has not worked and the reasons thereof.\n• Social\, economic\, institutional\, political and environmental implications of the policy and management decisions taken.\n• Communication practices with stakeholders and policymakers\, how they worked and reasons thereof. \nThe workshop will include a special discussion session on future research agendas to inform policymaking. \nExtended abstracts (1-2 pages) for possible presentation at the workshop should be sent by 20 November to Dr. Cecilia Tortajada\, emails: Cecilia.tortajada@nus.edu.sg and Cecilia.tortajada@gmail.com \nAuthors will be informed on whether their abstract is considered suitable for presentation at the workshop by 10 December. Draft papers (minimum 5000 words) should be submitted by 15 February 2020 for discussion during the workshop. \nAuthors should finalise their papers in light of the discussions by 30 June 2020. These will be peer-reviewed for possible publication in the International Journal of Water Resources Development\, www.tandfonline.com/loi/cijw20 \nTravel and hotel expenses of selected participants will be covered by the workshop organisers.

SUMMARY:WaterVent - Corporate Venturing Forum in the Water Tech Nexus
DESCRIPTION:WaterVent can be perceived as a Corporate Venturing Forum in the water tech nexus. water technology innovators have to cope with two main challenges: \n\nI. funding (by VC\, corporates\, charities & foundations\, Family Offices\, private individuals\, public grants & loans)\nII. detecting and convincing (first) Clients (application references!) – industrial corporates\, farmers\, real estate owners and utilities which are open minded (courageous?) to give new and – often – disruptive technologies a trial\n\nWaterVent is a platform dedicated to matching innovators and these two groups by showcasting water technology innovations to those who are in need of and/or who want to engage in.

SUMMARY:IWRA Webinar on Sustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Challenge and Response
DESCRIPTION:Invitation – New IWRA Webinar onSustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Challenge and ResponseWednesday\, September 23rd 2020From 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm CET \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to register for free! \n\n\n\nIWRA’s next webinar will introduce participants to major river systems that typically originate in mountains and flow through arid or semi-arid climates downstream.    For millennia\, spring floods have deposited fertile soil here\, which together with diversions from the rivers’ flows have enabled extensive irrigated agriculture.  These downstream areas form the backbone of regional economies and world food production. Engineering works in these river systems\, notably reservoirs built over the last 120 years\, have increased year-round water supply for food production and for growing cities. Yet today\, climate change\, reservoir sedimentation\, depletion of groundwater and reduced environmental flows challenge the sustainability of these river systems. This webinar addresses the above concerns and looks at possible responses. \n\n\n\nThe theme of this webinar was that of a multiyear project\, Sustainability of Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands (SERIDAS)\, introduced in Water International by Aysegül Kibaroglu\, Jurgen Schmandt and George Ward in the article entitled “Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Searching for Sustainability in Theory and Practice” (42.3\, 241-253).  The full results of the project will appear shortly in a book published by Cambridge University Press. \n\n\n\nParticipation is free and open to all.  Audience questions are encouraged. \n\n\n\nTopics \n\n\n\n\nEngineered Rivers in Arid Regions: Challenge and Response\nThe Global Climate Change and Engineered Rivers\nThe Depletion of Groundwater and Preserving Environmental Flows\nTensions and Dynamics in the Nile River Basin\nChallenges and Responses in the Murray-Darling Basin\n\n\n\n\nModerator: James E. Nickum\, Editor-in-Chief\, Water International \n\n\n\nDistinguished Panellists \n\n\n\n\nDaniel Connell\, Professor\, Australia National University\nStephanie Glenn\, Program Director\, Hydrology and Watersheds\, Houston Advanced Research Center\nMuhammad Khalifa\, Research Associate\, TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences\nAysegül Kibaroglu\, Chair\, Dept. of Political Science and International Relations\, MEF University\nGerald R. North\, University Distinguished Professor\, Emeritus\, Atmospheric Sciences\, Texas A&M\nLars Ribbe\, Professor\, TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences\nJurgen Schmandt\, Professor Emeritus\, University of Texas\n\n\n\n\nPresented by: Scott McKenzie\, PhD Candidate\, University of British Columbia \n\n\n\nClick here to register for free! \nIWRA Webinars constitute an additional resource designed to help our members\, academics\, dedicated practitioners\, and policy professionals further explore these and other timely themes engaging in fruitful discussions\, also aligned with the international water agenda and in close collaboration with key partners.

SUMMARY:2nd Asia International Water Week - AIWW
DESCRIPTION:The AIWW is a triennial water gathering for multi-stakeholders to seek tangible implementation for resolving Asian water problems. It is organized by the Asia Water Council in collaboration with the authorities of the host country. Regional water problems that were discussed for three years prior to the AIWW based on the preparatory process will be raised as the primary issues from Asian water community and will be disseminated to the global water community with action plans to solve them and timelines for them by the relevant committee at the AIWW. The tangible plans to implement solutions by each committee will be particularly highlighted by organizing the sessions on the pertinent topics. Designing the future plans for collected action plans will be the core part of the gathering in the AIWW. Members and prospective members of the AWC including water related stakeholders and preeminent experts are gathered in the AIWW and share their insights and experiences to support and develop the activities of the AWC so that it consequently contribute to pave the way towards sustainable development in Asia. As the AIWW is held one year prior to the World Water Forum\, opportunities to organize the major gathering for the preparatory process for the World Water Forum will be provided to the AWC members and the follow up actions will also be continued at the World Water Forum. \n  \nThe Road to Bali 2020 \n

SUMMARY:UNESCO International Conference on "Water\, Megacities and Global Change"
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together scientists\, operators\, policy makers and civil society to address water security and global challenges in Megacities\nParis\, New York\, Beijing\, Mumbai\, Tokyo\, Buenos Aires\, Mexico\, Lagos… all Megacities – urban centers which accommodate more than 10 million inhabitants – are facing “mega”-challenges related to providing water services for their inhabitants\, while managing their environment. Climate change effects of intensifying magnitude and global challenges such as sea level rise\, increasing temperatures or urbanization\, threaten these cities. Now\, there is a need for action to achieve resilient cities. \nA transversal and multidimensional solution is proposed\, based on the collaboration among scientists who advance knowledge\, operators (in both the public and private sectors) who innovate technically and socio-politically\, and local politicians who can support new\, fairer and more efficient models of water governance\, in constant interaction with civil society. \nThe Second International Conference on “Water\, Megacities and Global Change” (EauMega 2020)\, will take place from 1 to 4 December 2020 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris\, to bring all these actors together\, 5 years after its first edition\, also known as EauMega 2015. \n\nCall for papers\nDeadline: 29 February 2020\n\nObjectives of the conference\n\nProduce a scientific and technical overview of water management in Megacities in order to identify and update the most important issues\,\nStrengthen the dialogue between science and policy actors\, and\nOfficially launch the Megacities Alliance for Water and Climate (MAWAC).\nMAWAC aims to provide a platform for Megacities to share their experiences and challenges\, propose solutions\, and to obtain access to technical and financial support for programmes and projects\, enabling them to successfully overcome the challenges of climate change.
