MOROCCO: UNESCO prepares conference on sustainable water management

A symposium on water resource management opens on October 28, 2019 in Morocco. The event, organised by UNESCO, responds to the problem of water stress faced by African and Middle Eastern countries. The use of software to manage irrigation, wastewater treatment and reuse and several other water-related topics will form the backdrop to this four-day meeting.

The Rabah meeting has three main objectives:

– Present and develop access to and use of free and/or open source software to broaden the openness of content, technology and processes;

– Train the various actors in the water sector in software to improve water resources management, security and sustainable peace in the water sector,

– Expand access to information, knowledge and technology to support water resource management.
