WEES 2009 will be sponsored by IHP Indian National Committee of Hydrology (INCOH), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Vienna; World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Geneva; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Paris and International Association for Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). Efforts are being made to get sponsorship from many other reputed international and national organizations.
We are facing increasing demand and uncertain supply of water, and are witnessing growing concern for protection from hydro-hazards. Policies for water management need to be critically re-examined and, if necessary, reformulated in view of the changing conditions. The health and economic effects of the shortage of freshwater are matters too serious to ignore. These issues need to be deliberated and discussed in a technical gathering and the proposed conference is an attempt in this direction. This conference is India's contribution to the UNESCO-IHP VII (2008-2013).
