Urban Water Conference - Leuven, 15-19 September 2008 15-09-2008 Introduction The 'Urban Water Conference', hosted by Leuven University, intends to bridge
the gap between the disciplines of water management, ecology and the approaches
of engineering, urban design and spatial planning.
Description
Sessions will develop a series of themes, discussing the historical
relationship between water systems and human settlements, and related management
problems regarding urban floods, water use and water sanitation. In each
session, presentations are invited on problem definition, technical and
design-based solutions, but also on boundary conditions of exogenous, political
or economical nature. It is hoped that this interdisciplinary information
exchange and communication will lead to discussion and will contribute to a
better integration of approaches currently considered in the separate
disciplines of water management, water engineering, spatial urban planning and
design and aquatic ecology.
Also aspects of meteorological, demographic, political, economical, and
educational and life-style related nature will be considered in the analysis of
solutions to current and emerging urban water problems. This on the longer term
might lead to new paradigms in managing water in the urban environment.
