Non-structural Measures for Water Management Problems

Non-structural measures are an attractive alternative and addition to structural measures that may reduce the loss of life and property caused by water-related problems. The main objective of this workshop was to identify the role of non-structural measures in a sustained set of actions that improve society’s capacity to anticipate, mitigate, withstand, and recover from water-related problems. This site from the UNESCO workshop includes presentations, list of participants, comments, media response, and a photo gallery.
