SECONO ANNOUNCEMENT ANO CAll FOR PAPERS

PROGRAMME

BACKGROUND

A Workshop on Intensive Use of Groundwater: Challenges and Opportunities (WINEX) took place in December 2001, in Madrid. It was a c10sed meeting aimed at preparing and discussing a list of topics related to technical, economic and social issues of groundwater intensive use. As an outcome of the Workshop, a book is being printed. This book will be the background of the SIN EX.

SINEX is convened eleven years after the IAH Symposium on Groundwater Overexploitation, held at Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife (Spain).

OBJECTIVES

To convene and gather a world-wide forum of scientists, stakeholders, sociologists, and decision makers with experience on groundwater intensive use issues. These experts will study, discuss, and evaluate the challenges and opportunities of intensive use of groundwater from a wide-scope point of view in order to show the real benefits and costs, and to fight down myths that prevent the sustainable use of such an essential resource.

MAIN EXPECTED RESULTS

• Conveying ideas regarding chaltenges and opportunities of intensive use of groundwater to local water authorities.

• Generating discussion among participants on the real costs and benefits of groundwater exploitation.

• Producing a position paper containing a declaration, including recommendations, to be later distributed world-wide.

• Preparing a special publication with selected contributions.
