Objective
- To generate scientific and practical benefits in the field of water resource management through an interdisciplinary approach in which the complex interrelationships and interdependencies of technological, organisational, sociological and cultural aspects are integrated;
- To contribute to the transfer of technology in the field of waste water treatment and management in a trilateral way;
- To integrate the gender perspective in all aspects of water resource management with special emphasis on the technical and decision making aspects;
- To organise training on location;
- To incorporate remote sensing techniques (a.o. GIS) to evaluate and monitor the sanitation infrastructure and aspects of environmental impact;
- To implement the transfer of knowledge of and by consultants;
- To transform the results from the projects to a conceptual model for interdisciplinary approaches to water resource management in order to add scientific and practical benefits.
The project consisted of two phases :
- Phase 1 (year 1) : to investigate the possibilities of interdisciplinary co-operation in order to develop interdisciplinary concepts applicable to the category of problems in the field of water resource management. This phase investigation was done through organising two intensive workshops;
- Phase 2 was programmed to actually conduct the several interdisciplinary projects designed in phase 1.
Results
- The two workshops were executed.
- From the start of the EGMONE phase 1 project, we have assumed that water resource management (WRM) would profit from an interdisciplinary perspective. We therefore have tried in a collective effort (W1, and in a moderate way W2) to define the contours of that interdisciplinary perspective and the added-value of this perspective to WRM.
- This happened to be an extremely difficult exercise, because of the following :
- as a multidisciplinary team, we succeeded in highlighting important contributions of each (mono-discipline to WRM;
- we did not manage to work out the added-value of the various disciplines in an interdisciplinary approach to WRM;
- as the different participating experts were located at different levels of the model, we did not communicate at the same level of planning (macro, meso, micro), level of abstraction, level of disciplinary jargon, etc.;
- at some levels of the model to be developed, there should be a plea for an integrated (multi-disciplinary) approach (that might merge in an interdisciplinary perspective);
- we have to bring together experts who are willing to cross the boundaries of their own disciplines, and who are not hindered by institutional constraints such as professional status or statutory mandates.
- Although the two workshops were successful and the input regarded as relevant to each of the individual partners, it was concluded not to organise a follow-up of the phase 1.
