SUMMARY:Portuguese Water Congress
DESCRIPTION:The Portuguese Water Resources Association (APRH) hosted the 14th Water Congress in Évora from March 7th to 9th\, 2018. The theme focused on “Water Resources Management: New Challenges”. The Water Congress addressed Water Resources Management at various levels\, at a critical time of change that requires new solutions and actions that minimize these problems in the future. In this framework\, the APRH invited all its associates and wider technical-scientific community to this discussion forum\, to help all stakeholders in Water Resources Management find convincing scientifically based solutions for water resolution problems. This invitation extended to the Portuguese-speaking countries that\, coming with their own experiences\, enriched the discussion.

SUMMARY:International Training Workshop on Management of Land Acquisition\, Resettlement\, and Rehabilitation (MLARR)
DESCRIPTION:The management of Land Acquisition\, Resettlement and Rehabilitation (MLARR) has become an integral part of the process of infrastructural development. However\, a major challenge in this regard is the weak institutional and human resources capacity to address land acquisition and involuntary resettlement globally. \nThis is reflected in the limited professional staff\, knowledge\, technical expertise and operational experiences in resettlement policies\, planning\, implementation and management. Many countries have developed legislative and policy framework to manage issues in land acquisition\, resettlement\, rehabilitation and social safeguard. \nThis Hohai University training program focused on the international standards and good practices\, as well as on lessons learned from case studies in China and globally. It included a 5-day field trip to the Three Gorges Dam and the Gezhouba Dam Projects. The field visits included presentations by the project staff\, discussions\, and field trips to resettlement sites. \nThe training program is targeted to an international audience – people who are involved in project planning and implementation\, project managers\, practitioners and people involved in project administration from public and private institutions or international financial institutions. The course was delivered by some of the world’s leading social assessment and resettlement practitioners.

SUMMARY:World Water Day
DESCRIPTION:  \nWorld Water Day\, on 22 March every year\, was about focusing attention on the importance of water. The theme for World Water Day 2018 was ‘Nature for Water’ – exploring nature-based solutions to the water challenges we face in the 21st century. \n  \nDamaged ecosystems affect the quantity and quality of water available for human consumption. Today\, 2.1 billion people live without safe drinking water at home; affecting their health\, education and livelihoods. \n  \nSustainable Development Goal 6 commits the world to ensuring that everyone has access to safe water by 2030\, and includes targets on protecting the natural environment and reducing pollution.

SUMMARY:8th World Water Forum - “Sharing Water”
DESCRIPTION:The World Water Forum is the world’s biggest water-related event and is organized by the World Water Council (WWC)\, an international organization that brings together all those interested in the theme of water. Its mission is “to promote awareness\, build political commitment and trigger action on critical water issues at all levels\, to facilitate the efficient conservation\, protection\, development\, planning\, management and use of water in all its dimensions on an environmentally sustainable basis for the benefit of all life on Earth”. \nThe World Water Forum contributes to the dialogue of the decision-making process on water at the global level\, seeking to achieve the rational and sustainable use of this resource. Given its political\, technical and institutional scope\, one of the Forum’s main features is the open\, democratic participation of actors drawn from different sectors\, making it an event of the greatest importance on the international agenda. \nContinuing in from its role at the 7th World Water Forum as Champion for the Theme “Ensuring Water Quality from Ridge to Reef”\, IWRA continued this role for the 8th World Water Forum. The IWRA Executive Office was part of the coordination group for the cross-cutting Theme of Capacity\, as well as the topic coordination group for “Climate Science and Water management: the communication between science and decision/policy making” under the Theme of Climate. Last but not least\, IWRA was the topic lead for “Ensuring Water Quality from Ridge to Reef”\, which now sits under the Theme of Ecosystems. In this lead role Project Officer Alice Colson was providing support and general coordination to the three session groups\, and liaising between the sessions and the Thematic Commission. \nGiven IWRA’s strong involvement in this major water event\, the Executive Office had a stand in the Expo area for the whole Forum week.

SUMMARY:IWRA's Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Established on 29 November 1971\, IWRA was set up to meet the growing but unmet need to create a multidisciplinary association at the international level in order to fill the gaps both between disciplines and the science community with the general public and policy makers. \nIn the 46 years since then\, while moving with the times\, we have held steadfast to our core objective by holding 16 World Water Congresses; through publications\, notably our flagship journal Water International; leading and collaborating with projects mainly on Water Quality\, the Science-Policy Interface and Smart Water Management\, as well as through networking at multiple scales\, including the World Water Forum at one end and national and regional committees at the other.  Today\, IWRA’s mission and goals remain the same\, making sure the Association promotes water research and shares knowledge towards the use of sound science to develop strong water policies\, engages with members and key partners more closely\, and reinforces its unique multidisciplinary network of experts concerned with the sustainable use of the water resources\, globally. \nIWRA looks forward to continuing this work\, bringing the latest research and sharing up-to-date knowledge\, engaging across projects\, events and initiatives with all our members and partners\, as well as collaborating up close with the international water community in years to come!

SUMMARY:World Toilet Day - Wastewater
DESCRIPTION:The 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals aim to reach\, among many other targets\, everyone with sanitation by that year\, and halve the proportion of untreated wastewater and increase recycling and safe reuse. However\, and to be achieve that\, we need everyone’s poo to be contained\, transported\, treated and disposed of in a safe and sustainable way. This 4-step journey briefly includes the following: \n• Containment. Poo must be deposited into a hygienic toilet and stored in a sealed pit or tank\, separated from human contact.\n• Transport. Pipes or latrine emptying services must move the poo to the treatment stage.\n• Treatment. Poo must be processed into treated wastewater and waste products that can be safely returned to the environment.\n• Disposal or reuse. Safely treated poo can be used for energy generation or as fertilizer in food production. \nIWRA to celebrate this important day organised a dedicated webinar on Thursday\, November 16th 2017\, from 3:00pm to 4:30pm (CET). Panellists\, list of topics and other details\, including registration can be found here: www.iwra.org/webinars

SUMMARY:World Water Day
DESCRIPTION:World Water Day\, on 22 March every year\, was about taking action to tackle the water crisis. By 2017\, there were over 663 million people living without a safe water supply close to home\, spending countless hours queuing or trekking to distant sources\, and coping with the health impacts of using contaminated water. This year’s theme: Why waste water? in support of SDG 6.3 on improving water quality and reducing\, treating and reusing wastewater. \nGlobally\, the vast majority of all the wastewater from our homes\, cities\, industry and agriculture flows back to nature without being treated or reused – polluting drinking and bathing and irrigation and losing valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials. Reducing and safely treating and reusing wastewater\, for example in agriculture and aquaculture\, protects worker\, farmers and consumers promotes food security\, health and wellbeing.
