Watarid 3: Uses and policies of water

 The third Watarid conference “Watarid 3: Uses and policies of water” will be held in France from May 30th to June 5th, 2011. The guest country is EGYPT.

 Even today, very few research programs on the issues and challenges of water associate social sciences (geography, urbanism, architecture, political science, law, sociology, history…), physical sciences, natural sciences (chemistry, hydrology, hydraulics, biology…) or engineering sciences. As a matter of fact, interdisciplinary approaches are not very common. And few international programs relate to the analysis of the technical, institutional, political and social challenges in varied regional contexts.

 The issues of access to water, its uses, its management and its preservation will be at the heart of this meeting. The paper or poster proposals must be submitted before September 30th 2010.
