World Water Congress : Africa regional forum

OIEau - IOWater - OIAgua — 2010-09-19T14:53:00Z

19th – 24th September 2010, Montreal Canada

For over a year now, the African Water Association has undertaken a strategic partnership with the International Water Association (IWA). The recent merger between the ESAR-IWA and the AfWA as well as the opening of an IWA agency in Africa therefore represents one of the key actions of this partnership. As a consequence, there is a synergy as regard the actions carried out by both organizations through the meetings at the international level dealing with the African water and sanitation sector related issues. Among these, one can mention the participation of the AfWA in the latest IWA Development Congress held in Mexico City from November 15th to 20th 2009, and the participation of the IWA in the AfWA 15th Congress held in Kampala, Uganda, from March 15th to 19th 2010 during which the IWA organized many sessions dealing with various thematic related to the water and sanitation issues in the world and particularly in Africa.

Ground Water Litigation: Addressing Contamination Lawsuits

OIEau - IOWater - OIAgua — 2010-09-21T12:30:00Z

21 September 2010,

INTERACTIVE WEB CONFERENCE

Increasingly, government agencies (often municipalities) bring lawsuits seeking compensation for contaminants found in public water supplies. These are civil lawsuits brought outside the regulatory framework that usually target private businesses. Rather than seeking cooperation in clean-up efforts, the lawsuits seek money damages. The government agencies often partner with non-government attorneys working on a contingency fee basis.

This webinar will provide an overview of litigation trends and will address the following:

* Where is this litigation most active?
* What does the government authority have to prove in order to recover damages?
* What role do regulatory cleanup levels play in these private suits?
* Does it matter that the contamination is below regulatory levels?
* How do plaintiffs establish links between particular chemicals and industry groups?

Sustainable Development in Lake Areas

OIEau - IOWater - OIAgua — 2010-09-22T09:22:00Z

22-26 September 2010, in Keramoti, Nestos Delta Greece

The workshops are organised in the framework of the project “Sustainable Development in Lake Areas”, which is supported by Fondation de France.
The general objective of the project is to support initiatives in sustainable development by exchange on good practice of participatory implementation and local sustainable development.
The exchange shall lead to capacity building of private actors, NGOs and local governments in environmentally sensitive areas.
The thematic workshops will contribute to the development of local democracy and to a more participative management of environmental resources, in order to fill the gap between European citizens and their institutions, and also via feed-back to decision makers to contribute to environmental and rural policies that better meet peoples’ need for participation.
The project’s objectives are

- to exchange experiences about different participatory implementation strategies of Nature 2000 and Water Framework Directive (WFD) in concerned rural areas

- to give local actors and authorities better access to practical knowledge about sustainable Nature 2000 and WFD implementation strategies via exchange with successful projects

- to develop political proposals to regional, state and EU governments to use the existing participatory options that are provided from EU-side in order to support sustainable development in rural areas.
