Ground Water Litigation: Addressing Contamination Lawsuits
21 September 2010,
INTERACTIVE WEB CONFERENCE Increasingly, government agencies (often municipalities) bring lawsuits seeking compensation for contaminants found in public water supplies. These are civil lawsuits brought outside the regulatory framework that usually target private businesses. Rather than seeking cooperation in clean-up efforts, the lawsuits seek money damages. The government agencies often partner with non-government attorneys working on a contingency fee basis. This webinar will provide an overview of litigation trends and will address the following: * Where is this litigation most active? * What does the government authority have to prove in order to recover damages? * What role do regulatory cleanup levels play in these private suits? * Does it matter that the contamination is below regulatory levels? * How do plaintiffs establish links between particular chemicals and industry groups?

4th European Water and Wastewater Management Conference & Exhibition
27th – 28th September 2010, The Royal Armouries, Leeds
The Water Industry is now faced with seemingly contradictory requirements to deliver large reductions in its carbon footprint whilst gearing up to meet the much tighter standards of the Water Framework Directive, and delivering both of these at a reduced cost to the consumer. The Conference will explore how the industry is gearing up to these challenges by increasing the efficiency of existing technology whilst pushing forward with the development of more novel approaches.

World Water Congress : Africa regional forum
19th – 24th September 2010, Montreal Canada
For over a year now, the African Water Association has undertaken a strategic partnership with the International Water Association (IWA). The recent merger between the ESAR-IWA and the AfWA as well as the opening of an IWA agency in Africa therefore represents one of the key actions of this partnership. As a consequence, there is a synergy as regard the actions carried out by both organizations through the meetings at the international level dealing with the African water and sanitation sector related issues. Among these, one can mention the participation of the AfWA in the latest IWA Development Congress held in Mexico City from November 15th to 20th 2009, and the participation of the IWA in the AfWA 15th Congress held in Kampala, Uganda, from March 15th to 19th 2010 during which the IWA organized many sessions dealing with various thematic related to the water and sanitation issues in the world and particularly in Africa.

Sustainable Development in Lake Areas
22-26 September 2010, in Keramoti, Nestos Delta Greece
The workshops are organised in the framework of the project “Sustainable Development in Lake Areas”, which is supported by Fondation de France. The general objective of the project is to support initiatives in sustainable development by exchange on good practice of participatory implementation and local sustainable development. The exchange shall lead to capacity building of private actors, NGOs and local governments in environmentally sensitive areas. The thematic workshops will contribute to the development of local democracy and to a more participative management of environmental resources, in order to fill the gap between European citizens and their institutions, and also via feed-back to decision makers to contribute to environmental and rural policies that better meet peoples’ need for participation. The project’s objectives are - to exchange experiences about different participatory implementation strategies of Nature 2000 and Water Framework Directive (WFD) in concerned rural areas - to give local actors and authorities better access to practical knowledge about sustainable Nature 2000 and WFD implementation strategies via exchange with successful projects - to develop political proposals to regional, state and EU governments to use the existing participatory options that are provided from EU-side in order to support sustainable development in rural areas.

The Untapped Potential of 3R solutions to improve Water Quality and Quantity.
5th September 2010, Stockholm (World Water Week)
Livelihoods depend to a large degree on access to safe, sufficient and reliable water resources. Various places on earth suffer serious water quality and scarcity problems which pose severe threats to public health, food security and enhanced livelihoods. These could be mitigated by using simple small-scale 3R solutions to address large-scale problems. 3R solutions provide hands-on means to enhance water quality and quantity issues. Groundwater recharge, fresh water storage and water quality improvement are examples of some 3R solutions with proven results. Groundwater use and recharge and rainwater storage can be optimized for water quality and climate change adaptation, especially for those living under fragile socio-economic environments. Managing local water buffers enables dealing with increased climate variability, water quality and availability issues simultaneously. In cooperation with local communities these solutions are implementable on a large scale, if more actors start applying and funding 3R approaches. The objective of this seminar is thus to demonstrate that 3R can be effectively used for improving water quality issues through presentation of some findings and best practices on Water Recharge, Retention & Reuse. A 3R water quality toolbox will be presented to showcase an application-oriented view and exchange of already applied practices and experiences.
