OBJECTIVES

ICWRER 2002 is the third international conference in the series on Water Resources and Environment Research. The aim of the conference is to encourage and facilitate the interdisciplinary communication amongst scientists, engineers and professionals working in ecological systems and sustainable development including the conservation of natural systems. Water conservation and sustainable management of water resources only can be performed by the means of a multidisciplinary approach. Physical, biological, chemical and technical expertise, necessary for the understanding of the processes and their complex interaction in the natural and urban aquatic systems is a domain of topical interest for current research efforts. ICWRER wants to stimulate and promote further research in that field and offer the opportunity to share your ideas with other natural scientists and engineers from around the world working in the wide variety of water related disciplines. We look forward to welcome you for a productive scientific exchange and for having a good time here in Dresden.
