The challenge we all have How to put water in the minds of people?

 The cycle is changing?  Increased risks?  Growing vulnerability?  More disasters ?  Less water for people?  Crisis is looming?  What crisis?  Global or local? International Hydrological Programme (IHP) Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)

Water at UNESCO: Members of the Water Family International Hydrological Programme UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education: postgraduate education for water professionals World Water Assessment Programme: periodical compilation of the World Water Development Report — three issues so far Network of Unesco Water Chairs and Centres (ca. 30 Water Centres)

The International Hydrological Programme (IHP) Intergovernmental scientific programme on Water Resources of the UN system Created in 1975 after the International Hydrological Decade Member States define needs and plans of phases Growing emphasis on management and social aspects Executed by Member States and other partners; UNESCO provides seed money

Transition of IHP’s phases: continuity with change IHP IV Hydrology and Water Resources Sustainable Development in a Changing Environment IHP-V Hydrology and Water Resources Development in a Vulnerable Environment IHP-VI Water Interactions: Systems at Risk and Social Challenges IHP-VII Water Dependencies: Systems under Stress and Societal Responses
