The Untapped Potential of 3R solutions to improve Water Quality and Quantity.

OIEau - IOWater - OIAgua — 2010-09-05T04:31:00Z

5th September 2010, Stockholm (World Water Week)

Livelihoods depend to a large degree on access to safe, sufficient and reliable water resources. Various places on earth suffer serious water quality and scarcity problems which pose severe threats to public health, food security and enhanced livelihoods. These could be mitigated by using simple small-scale 3R solutions to address large-scale problems.
3R solutions provide hands-on means to enhance water quality and quantity issues. Groundwater recharge, fresh water storage and water quality improvement are examples of some 3R solutions with proven results.
Groundwater use and recharge and rainwater storage can be optimized for water quality and climate change adaptation, especially for those living under fragile socio-economic environments. Managing local water buffers enables dealing with increased climate variability, water quality and availability issues simultaneously. In cooperation with local communities these solutions are implementable on a large scale, if more actors start applying and funding 3R approaches.
The objective of this seminar is thus to demonstrate that 3R can be effectively used for improving water quality issues through presentation of some findings and best practices on Water Recharge, Retention & Reuse. A 3R water quality toolbox will be presented to showcase an application-oriented view and exchange of already applied practices and experiences.

Comment communiquer et sensibiliser sur le Sdage ?

OIEau - IOWater - OIAgua — 2010-09-07T12:32:00Z

7 septembre 2010, de 9h à 16h30 Centre Vinci à Tours

Fin 2009, le bassin Loire-Bretagne a adopté son schéma directeur d’aménagement et de gestion des eaux – Sdage - 2010-2015. Il dessine une stratégie ambitieuse pour la reconquête d’un bon état des eaux de nos rivières, lacs, nappes et littoral, condition du développement de demain.
Cette stratégie ne pourra gagner qu’avec le concours de tous les acteurs de l’eau au quotidien et avec l’adhésion des citoyens. C’est pourquoi le Sdage comprend un chapitre « informer, sensibiliser, favoriser les échanges ».
Les rencontres de l’eau organisées le 7 septembre 2010 à Tours s’adressent aux acteurs des collectivités, des associations, des organismes consulaires et des services de l’Etat qui contribuent à la sensibilisation du public aux enjeux de l’eau.
Animées par Frédéric Tricot, président de la commission communication du comité de bassin Loire-Bretagne, elles feront intervenir des témoignages d’acteurs et permettront d’échanger sur les pratiques de sensibilisation.
Elles approfondiront la question de la sensibilisation sur deux enjeux prioritaires du Sdage : la lutte contre les pollutions diffuses et la restauration des cours d’eau et des zones humides.

OIEau - IOWater - OIAgua — 2010-09-07T12:32:00Z

7 septembre 2010 à Saint Hélène sur Isère (73)

Cette journée commencera par fournir des éléments de compréhension de l’impact écologique des renouées sur les milieux aquatiques et sur la biodiversité.
Une présentation des méthodes de diagnostic et de définition de la stratégie globale à l’échelle d’un bassin versant sera réalisée. Elle sera suivie de préconisations en matière de gestion et de lutte.
Des retours d’expériences seront présentés : cartographie des zones contaminées, outils de communication et de sensibilisation, prise en compte des invasives dans les marchés de travaux.
Une sortie de terrain sur sites contaminés sera organisée afin de bénéficier de retours d’expériences sur des techniques de lutte mécanique.

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.
