Mission report on workshop on : "water and nature : environment and ecosystems"

Abstract

The goal of "water and nature: environment ecosystems' is to have water resources for food security, life and health, as well as resources for the maintenance of livelihoods and non-consumptive processes and products such as biodiversity, nutrient cycling, recreational, aesthetic and cultural values. This should be within a context where the management of water resources enhances both social security and equity and the viability of the ecosystems within which these resources are found.
