Forging Targets and Solutions for Rivers and Water Ecosystem Restoration, Ljubljana, 16-18 November 2011


The seminar “Forging Targets and Solutions for Rivers and Water Ecosystem Restoration” was held in Ljubljana from 16-18 November 2011. Over a 100 participants from 27 countries, from everywhere between Uzbekistan and Portugal, attended. Participants engaged in interactive sessions, and visited two sites in a field trip.

The seminar offered the participants the opportunity to influence the European targets of the 6th World Water Forum of March 2012. In two interactive rounds of four workshops, participants actively engaged their invaluable knowledge and expertise to help develop new knowledge and know-how on rivers hydro-morphology, restoration and protection of water ecosystems.
