River Basin management conference
26 October 2001 - 26 October 2001
A world forum international conference on integrated water management in international river basins will take place in Nitra, Slovak Republic on 25 to 27 October 2001.
Rivers know no boundaries and the recently introduced Water Framework Directive recognises this by basing European water management on river basin systems. The international conference will address the consequences of this directive, with special emphasis being placed on areas with the lowest levels of socio-economic development.
One of the aims of the directive and the conference are to ensure efficient co-operation between states sharing any particular river basin in order to prevent deterioration in the ecological, social and economic situation of the basin and its inhabitants.
