The Middle East is facing a water resource problem that is one of the biggest in the world. The level of available renewable water in the region is one fifth of what the rest of the world enjoys on a per capita basis. Despite this, the UAE is one of the world’s largest waters users.
Meanwhile the population of the region is growing 55% more quickly than the population at the rest of the world. By 2011, water needs will be double of what they are now, predicted to be around 341 million imperial gallons per day. The threat of water scarcity ensures that investment in developing freshwater supply, along with the recycling and reuse of waste and sea water is an urgent priority across the region. This means that if strategies and infrastructure are not put in place, the water really is going to run out…
The Solution…
Attend the region’s only event strategically focused on developing and managing the existing and future water infrastructure and resources and find out how to:
• Plan, design and implement a pipe network that will cope with future demands
• Implement maintenance strategies that will reduce repair costs and ensure reliability
• Develop wastewater as a sustainable resource
• Protect and enhance freshwater as a long-term supply
• Create water resource plans that best capture and utilize surface water sources
• And Much More…

- International Conference 2008 - Diversifying Crop Protection
-
Oct 12, 2008 - Oct 15, 2008,
La Grande Motte Montpellier, FranceAdvances in crop protection have greatly contributed to high yields and consistency in production, but new concerns about human health and the environment, and increased consumer awareness about pesticide use, call for the development of alternative farming systems that are less reliant on pesticides.
In Europe, tougher regulations on the registration of plant protection products and the protection of water resources are coming into force and a thematic strategy is being developed to fill the legislative gap regarding the use-phase of pesticides. This Directive will establish the framework for Community action to achieve a sustainable use of pesticides.
To support these changes, more diversified crop protection strategies based on new technologies, new approaches and a broader range of tactics need to be developed. Stakeholders, especially policy makers, need independent science-based advice to help them implement the new regulations. - full details
