Moving Waters - The Changing State of Rivers
 
Managing our rivers has revolved around altering the movement of water – obviously through dams, extraction for irrigation, mining, water supplies, industry and water transfers and more cryptically when we consider groundwater use, virtual water, water sensitive urban design, water recycling and adjustments to environmental flows.
 
The 13th International Riversymposium, 11-14 October 2010 will bring together a diverse audience for interactive and vibrant discussion.
 
If you are interested in rivers, you can’t afford to miss it!
