On the 8th and 9th of July the second meeting of the European Regional Process for the fifth World Water Forum took place in Zaragoza. Within the plenary and the workshops intensive debates were held on the themes of the European Regional Process and on next steps to be taken.
The meeting mobilised a lot of actors from the Southern European countries to make sure the specific regional solutions and issues are taken into account in the Regional Process. The detailed results of this meeting will be available shortly on the website of the European Water Partnership.
The eastern part of England also is partly reclaimed from the sea, centuries ago. The marshlands now are a valuable agricultural area. Of course, maintenance is needed to keep the water where it belongs and at the same time making it work. This video explains the 'how' of it by the Water Management Alliance, showing pumps, dedicated machines and ways of working with water.
