Free Integrated Urban Water Management training: "Integrated Urban Water Management – What’s in it for the City of the Future?"

This is an invitation to a free training session entitled "Integrated Urban Water Management - What's in it for the City of the Future?" that is being held by ICLEl during the Stockholm World Water Week from 15:00 to 18:00 on 19 August 2008.

The training will be of particular interest for senior decision-makers and planners in local governments.

Arranged as part of the European Commission funded project "SWITCH - Managing Water for the City of the Future" (www.switchurbanwater.eu/), the executive training will raise awareness on the opportunities, benefits and costs of an integrated approach to urban water management. In particular, the session will examine whether such an approach could result in more efficient and sustainable uses of water resources in an urban environment.

The training is free of charge and will take place in room 265 of the Stockholm International Fairs and Congress Centre (venue for the World Water Week). Attendance at the World Water Week is not necessary to take part in the training.
