A major forum on the issues of water to be held in Kyoto in March 2003. Water is becoming a growing issue. Background: The importance of securing fresh water resources and the need for international co-operation on water issues to respond to disasters including frequent droughts and resultant desertification, large-scale floods and the pollution of both surface and underground water. The world’s limited water resources are being badly managed and a mechanism is needed to bring together professionals from all water-related disciplines and, in addition, to gather all water resource stakeholders.
