The partners in TRUST have developed novel approaches to integrate water management into spatial planning. These ideas have been applied through five practical pilot projects in England, Scotland, Belgium and two in the Netherlands and conceived around three defined themes: integral water management, multi-functional use of water and public and stakeholder participation.
The conference will focus on project results and outcomes, including an educational computer ‘water’game and lessons learned. All results will be made available on CD including guidelines and a best practice manual that will help to make multi-functional water use and integral water management work in other projects.
But at the conference we will also look ahead. Keynote speakers will give you an exciting look into new and challenging approaches to future water management and future water projects. And during an informal project market you’ll be able to pick up new “water related” project ideas that may be further developed within the INTERREG IV program.
The conference venue and our excursion will take you to two unique Industrial Heritage sites. So in just one day you will have the uniqiue opportunity to experience the past, present and future of water management and water projects in North West Europe.
