Objectives 

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 the workshop is to identify the role of non-structural measures in sustained set of actions that improve society’s capacity to, anticipate, mitigate, withstand and recover from water-related problems.

Summary

Over 50 participants representing 14 countries world-wide attended the workshop. There were 14 invited presentations from professionals around the world.  In addition to these presentations, there were break-out sessions with small groups of participants. Extensive discussion during the presentations and the break-out sessions resulted in a set of non-structural measures that could be adopted to solve water management problems.
