Reporting

Delegates from the Studienstiftung present four propositions that should accompany the conference until Friday. Proposition 1: Global water security calls for cooperative and not conflictive solutions. Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is an example. Proposition 2: Aquaethic as a philosophy of water management. Can water be property? What do we do with our water? Eleventh commandment: You shall not waste water! Proposition 3: Market will solve all problems regarding: allocation, efficiency, basic needs, water quality (drinking water), water quantity (farming). Proposition 4: Technological re-dimensioning increases sustainability of water management: local and national proportions, knowledge transfer, extent of interventions, technology and human behaviour. The participants of Studienstiftung will hand in a protocol at the end of the conference. World maps illustrate important results during the conference. Participants can maintain a silent dialogue using post-its. During the registration process of participants, a survey of 6 questions was carried out.
