Transboundary Water Management 2008
Location/Date: in South Africa, March 31-April 11, 2008
and in Sweden, June 9-13, 2008

Water is essential to all kinds of human development and livelihood support systems. Transcending most political and administrative boundaries, the available freshwater and the benefits it generates must be shared among individuals, economic sectors and sovereign nations.

The water management challenges are becoming increasingly complex. New and growing demands increasingly strain scarce and erratic supplies and cross thematic, cultural and political boundaries.

This training programme provides a meeting place for professionals involved in water issues around the world, with the aim of building both personal and institutional bridges. the training programme further draws on regional and global experience from transboundary water resources management and discuss legal frameworks and novel techniques for enhancing the broad benefits of shared waters.
