14th international Living Lakes Conference

 

Clean Water for a Sustainable Future

 

14th Living Lakes Conference postponed to 2013

Unfortunately a large number of the financial commitments in support of the June 2012 conference made by the city of Valencia, the Water Authority and the Valencia region could not be met. We are therefore sadly forced to postpone the conference until 2013.

 
 
 

The 14th Living Lakes conference taking place in Valencia, Spain in June 2013 will be hosted by the Global Nature Fund and our Spanish partner organisation Fundación Global Nature in close cooperation with the City of Valencia as well as the Department of Environment of the Regional Government of Valencia.

 

Special Issues:

  • Waste water from domestic sources and non-point sources and their efficient treatment and re-use
  • Mitigation of negative effects on the water quality
 

Additional issues regarding Lago de l’Albufera, Valencia:

  • 100 years anniversary of Lago de l’Albufera, a property of the City of Valencia
  • Lago de l’Albufera declaration as Biosphere Reserve
