The 6th IASTED African Conference on Environment and Water Resource Management

The sixth IASTED African Conference on Environment and Water Resource Management (AfricaEWRM 2016) will act as an interdisciplinary forum for decision-makers, academics, and professionals interested in the development and applications of technology for the sustainable use of the environment and the management of water resources. This purpose is consistent with the goals of the United Nations Decade of Water for Life. The forum will cover both hard and soft technologies and will serve to promote the use of appropriate technologies. Case studies are welcome.
