Nexus Dialogue - Solutions pour les infrastructures de l'eau
L'Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature (UICN) et l'International
Water Association (IWA) lancent aujourd'hui l'initiative « Nexus Dialogue -
Solutions pour les infrastructures de l'eau ». Ce dialogue vise à construire des
partenariats pour favoriser l'innovation technologique et la recherche de solutions
pour la construction d'infrastructures de l'eau qui tiennent compte des nouvelles
exigences issues de l'étroite interaction entre la production et l'utilisation de
l'eau, de l'énergie et de l'alimentation.

Launch of the Nexus Dialogue on Water Infrastructure Solutions
31 January 2013 | News story
IUCN and IWA today launch the Nexus Dialogue on Water Infrastructure Solutions, aimed at
building partnerships for innovation in water, food, and energy security. Recognition of
the closely bound interaction between water, energy and food production and use - the
nexus - has led to new demands for water infrastructure and technology solutions.
Water, energy and food security all rely on water infrastructure, such as wetlands,
watersheds, rivers and floodplains. Projections show that in 2050 global population will
have increased to 9 billion people and 70% more food will be needed. Over 70% of global
water availability is used for agricultural production. Electricity generated from water,
hydropower, provides 20% of the world's electricity and is the main energy source for
more than 30 countries.
Considering such statistics, the Nexus Dialogue on Water-Energy-Food security is a call to
action to those leading transformations in water infrastructure planning, financing and
operation. It provides a forum for sharing experiences, lessons, tools and guidelines on
how portfolios of water infrastructure and technologies can address the challenges of the
nexus.
Innovative professionals in farming, energy-production, natural resource management, and
engineering have the experience and hold practical knowledge to address that challenge.
Working across sectors, the Nexus Dialogue will provide a unique opportunity to share
these experiences and solutions emerging around the world.
You can join the Nexus Dialogue and submit contributions through the new website: please
visit www.waternexussolutions.org<http://www.waternexussolutions.org>rg>.
By joining us on social media through Twitter @WaterNexus and Facebook, you will stay
updated on new submissions, news items, videos, solutions and activities taking place.
