17 Sep 2008 → 20 Sep 2008; Portland, Oregon, United States

abstract: Accelerating changes in the global climate are changing the way water is managed in the American West. Some of the resulting impacts, such as increased crop water demands, are only beginning to be felt, while others, such as earlier melting of mountain snowpacks, are already well advanced. Water managers will increasingly be confronted with decision situations where old rules and old expectations no longer apply, and new design practices, new operating rules, new management practices, and even new legislation altering water management policies and water rights, will be required. This conference is designed to help prepare water managers for these changes.

abstract: Hydropower plays an important role in the future supply of renewable energy. Climate change can have a profound impact on small and large scale hydroelectric power production. Therefore water managers must be informed of the potential impacts of climate change on their river systems.

What changes can we expect and what impact will these have on hydroelectric power production and the users of the water system? Would water supplies remain as experienced over the past years or will the hydrologic pattern shift or/and change? Will these changes create opportunities or vulnerabilities?

abstract: The NGWA International Conference on Nonrenewable Ground Water Resources — Sociotechnological Aspects of Nonrenewable Ground Water Resources: Half-Empty, Hall-Full, Top-Down, Bottom-Up, and Some Paths Forward will take place in Portland, Oregon, October 13-14, 2008.

Many areas of the world rely on nonrenewable ground water resources, defined here as aquifer systems whose replenishment rates are so small that, for all practical purposes, their development is unsustainable and will eventually deplete the available water in storage. With the specter of global warming casting a pall of uncertainty over future water supplies, it is imperative that we manage these resources wisely by sharing our knowledge and learning from the experience of others who are dealing with these conditions and problems.

abstract: The warming of Earth's climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice. The intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared in 2008 that water resources are amongst systems and sectors that are particularly vulnerable to climate change and stand to be stongly impacted by it. While precipitation on average is expected to change only slightly, its variability is expected to increase. Extreme weather events, both in temperature and precipitation, are likely to occur more often, leading to increased occurrences of both floods and droughts. Climate change will influence the global hydrological cycle, and this in turn will have major impacts on water resources.

18 Nov 2008 → 19 Nov 2008; Surabaya, Indonesia

abstract: Water is essential for human health as it is closely linked with our body. However, data from UNICEF has shown more than 2.6 billion which is forty percent of the world’s population experience lack of basic sanitation facilities and safe drinking water sources. These situation have resulted illness and deaths of children caused by diarrhea and other sanitation-related disease. Not only is health related disease attacking children, but also lack of education. Children, in particular girls are too busy fetching water which discourage them of good education. In advance, poor people will encounter lack of productivity which in advance cause national economic suffers. It is vital then to improve water supplies and sanitation facilities in communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices as well.

26 Nov 2008 → 28 Nov 2008; New Delhi, Delhi, India

abstract: IInd world Aqua Congress aims to discuss “Global Climate Change and Water Resources”. The conference will focus on the current practices adopted and evolving guidelines for future. Global Warming is of great concern worldwide today. The consequences of Global warming can be seen everywhere and there are various serious concerns related to this issue:

* Average temperatures will rise, as will the frequency of heat waves.

* Warmer temperatures could also increase the probability of drought. Greater evaporation, particularly during summer and fall, could exacerbate drought conditions and increase the risk of wildfires

* Warmer temperatures increase the energy of the climatic system and lead to more intense rainfall at times in some areas

* More frequent and more intensive heat waves could result in more heat-related deaths. These conditions could also aggravate local air quality problems

11 May 2009 → 13 May 2009; Manado, Indonesia

abstract: Issues on Climate change had been a long term debate. It had been started on 1970's, based on a paradigm that everything in the world is interconnected, such that when irresponsible environment's unfriendly activities pursue, like deforestations and green house gases waste producing ones, an atmospheric hole will be formed causing an atmospheric temperature increase and in turn making polar ice melt and seawater rise. An overal change of wind characteristics and oceanic current accrue, and thusly the climate change. To date the issue imposes a central discourse in politics and science alike, due to its impacts to the world and its foreseeable future.
