| The session will address the many essential roles water plays — maintaining human health and survival, protecting sensitive ecosystems, producing an ample food supply, promoting overall economic prosperity, enhancing recreation and aesthetics, and providing for the long-term security of individuals and nations.
The primary focuses are:
1. Develop a Robust Set of Indicators for Sustainable Water Management
2. Improve Data and Monitoring Systems for Sustainable Water Management
3. Advance Interdisciplinary Scientific Research on Sustainable Water Management
4. Integrate Social Science and Natural Science Research on Sustainable Water Management
5. Develop a Broad Spectrum of Technologies to Advance Sustainable Water Management |
