  1. ASEMWaterNet:1st workshop / kick-off meetingIntegrated and Sustainable Management of Water Resources - BASIN Hanoi, 29th May - 1st June, 2006 Work plan activities Workpackage 1. Promote river-basin approaches (BASIN) Experience shows that water basin management cannot viably be undertaken by focusing on one aspect only. The formal integration of economic and biophysical disciplines should allow an accurate assessment of the economic and amenity values of water resources in their temporal and spatial dimensions. Transparency and seeking equitable and sustainable benefits are the most essential guiding principles, both in national and international river basins. Groundwater Division (NAS) http://www.dha.lnec.pt/nas/

  2. ASEMWaterNet:1st workshop / kick-off meetingIntegrated and Sustainable Management of Water Resources - BASIN Hanoi, 29th May - 1st June, 2006 • Given growing demand on land and water resources the following directions need particular attention: • Policy research and management strategies integrating knowledge about the physical/environmental, economic, social, institutional and regulatory aspects to explore cost-effective options towards water management at basin scale; • Simulation and modelling can allow exploring options in complex situations and can be useful policy support if communicated in understandable form to different stakeholders; • Action research and other forms of participation of affected citizens and their organisations enable to increase the range of options that may be available to policy development and management and one way to ensure transparency.

  3. ASEMWaterNet:1st workshop / kick-off meetingIntegrated and Sustainable Management of Water Resources - BASIN Hanoi, 29th May - 1st June, 2006 These perspectives must also be considered within the future climate evolution. In order to integrate, strengthen, and promote cooperation and research activities among ASEM countries focusing on the above scientific priorities, the following tasks were defined: Groundwater Division (NAS) http://www.dha.lnec.pt/nas/

  4. ASEMWaterNet:1st workshop / kick-off meetingIntegrated and Sustainable Management of Water Resources - BASIN Hanoi, 29th May - 1st June, 2006 • STEP 1 (t0 – t0+12) – Consolidation • This first step is dedicated to the preparation and scheduling of the sub-network activities. It includes the kick-off meeting (t2) and it ends with the first ASEMWaterNet workshop (t0+12). • Task 1.1 Validation of the three sub-priorities as defined among the scientific objectives of the sub-network and for each of them. • Task 1.2 Listing of the past and on-going research projects involving Asian and European teams and related to water governance. • Task 1.3 Redaction of a synthesis focusing on the main results but also the scientific locks and the need for complementary research. The similarity and potential cooperation between projects should also be highlighted. Groundwater Division (NAS) http://www.dha.lnec.pt/nas/

  5. ASEMWaterNet:1st workshop / kick-off meetingIntegrated and Sustainable Management of Water Resources - BASIN Hanoi, 29th May - 1st June, 2006 • Task 1.4 Identification and listing of existing formations and training sessions together with the definition of needs (themes, potential students…). • Task 1.5 Listing of the relevant international conferences, symposiums and meeting in order to inform all partners via the facilitating secretariat. • The activities of this first step will be initiated by the facilitators and conducted by the sub-network leader with the help of other partners involved in this workpackage. Following the kick-off meeting, a question form should be designed and sent to the relevant researchers and stakeholders in order to support the tasks 1 to 5.

  6. ASEMWaterNet:1st workshop / kick-off meetingIntegrated and Sustainable Management of Water Resources - BASIN Hanoi, 29th May - 1st June, 2006 • STEP 2 (t0+12 – t0+36) – Solution • This second step includes all activities of animation of the sub-network. It is the central and main part of the project, which begins at the first ASEMWaterNet workshop and ends with the third annual meeting (t0+36). It includes two milestones: the 2nd ASEMWaterNet workshop (t0+24) and the 3nd annual meeting (restricted to facilitators and sub-network leaders) • Task 2.1 Supporting contact between projects and facilitating sharing and exchanges of: • Knowledge and experience in order to encourage communication and scientific discussions about approaches, methodology and tools used within each projects; Groundwater Division (NAS) http://www.dha.lnec.pt/nas/

  7. ASEMWaterNet:1st workshop / kick-off meetingIntegrated and Sustainable Management of Water Resources - BASIN Hanoi, 29th May - 1st June, 2006 • Data and study areas to allow tests, benchmarking and validation of methodology and tools which were initially developed, applied and customised for a specific case study. • Task 2.2 Promoting and supporting personal exchanges: • Identification of welcoming institutions, definition of the motivation of personal exchange and of the added competence useful to improve the quality of projects, announcement of the potential vacancies and diffusion on the ASEMWaterNet web site. • Guidance to find financial support and mobility grants for personal exchange (Marie-Curie scholarship, various national grants…) aiming to cover travel costs and subsidence allowance.

  15. Development of Methodologies for the Assessment and Management of Groundwater Resources and Risks in Coastal Zones GIAS • The research aimed the minimisation of environmental • risks due to rapid economical growth of the Pearl River • Delta region (Macau-Guangzhou-Hong-Kong region) and • the Dalian Peninsula region, in P. R. China. • The main natural resource researched in this Project was groundwater. The tasks developed in the Project were divided in several Work Packages. • The first, i.e. WP1, was dedicated to the development of appropriated management mathematical models and practices towards the optimisation of the existing groundwater resources. • The second Work Package, i.e. WP2, was dedicated to the research of the intrinsic groundwater vulnerability to pollution, aiming the minimisation of environmental risks to groundwater. • The third Work Package, i.e. WP3, was based on the partners experience related to the research of an integrated approach on sustainable development policies for water supply, wastewater and solid waste sectors, towards the protection of natural groundwater resources. • The fourth Work Package, i.e. WP4, was dedicated to the know-how transfer, not only from the EU towards China, but also, and we underline the relevance of this task, from China towards the EU.

  17. MEASURING, MONITORING AND MANAGING SUSTAINABILITY: The coastal dimension GIAS • The project ‘Measuring, monitoring, and managing sustainability: the coastal • dimension’ is supported by the Commission of European Communities (DG XII) • under Research and Technological Development (RTD) activities. Adopting a • multi-disciplinary approach, the project involves investigations on how societal • driving forces – demographic, commercial and market, cultural, and technological • – interact with natural systems and impact on coastal resources of India. From • these investigations it proposes to design a system to measure, monitor, and • manage coastal area development with a view to promote sustainable economic • development. More specifically, the project aims at studying selected locations to • identify: • the key variables affecting coastal resources and ecosystems, • the policy choices faced by decision makers, and • the information requirements and decision-making instruments necessary for effective management.
