The seminar focused on the WBSRC concept (Water, Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services, Resilience, Culture) – an approach to sustainable water resources management rooted in ecohydrology.
Young researchers, including participants of the Erasmus Mundus: Master in Applied Ecohydrology programme at the University of Lodz, prepared presentations on selected rivers of the world, showing the problems and ecohydrological challenges they face. The presentations included rivers of England, France, the Netherlands, Azerbaijan, India, Pakistan, Australia, Indonesia and Laos, as well as rivers of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and the USA.
The event was organised by Dr Paweł Jarosiewicz from the Department of UNESCO Chair on Ecohydrology and Applied Ecology.
The meeting was also attended by Dr Giuseppe Arduino, former Head of the Ecohydrology, Water Quality and Water Education Section in the Division of Water Sciences, UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP), who received the Universitatis Lodziensis Amico Medal from Prof. Krzysztof Pabis.
