Redesigning river basins (IRBM) & transboundary dialogue
Redesigning River Basins in order to be flood resilient and conserve high water quality and a sustainable environmental flow is the central issue of this session. As rivers in most cases cross boundaries, this session will discuss these issues from a transboundary perspective. The session will handle three approaches and cases from multiple perspectives on Planet, People and Profit. These cases will be discussed and matched with available solutions.
