Estimados colegas,

Espero que estén muy bien. Como siempre es un gusto saludarlos.

El motivo de este mensaje es para informarles que estamos avanzando con los preparativos para la 6ª Reunión Regional de RALCEA, prevista a realizarse en Mérida, México, del 1 al 3 de junio próximo, en paralelo con la 10º Asamblea Mundial de la Red Internacional del Organismos de Cuenca (RIOC).

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission together with DEVCO's support are organising an International Workshop on "Exchange of experiences in water resources management between Europe/China/Africa/Latin America".

This event is organised in the framework of the European Commission (EC) support project to the Africa Union/NEPAD Networks of Water Centres of Excellence implemented by the JRC.

The participants get familiar with economic efficiency in designing water utilities and their components, in rationalizing operation and maintenance and in rehabilitating systems. Transparent and reliable cost comparison calculations. Starting with the systematic of infrastructure project appraisal methods in practical use and their pros and cons, the main focus is on dynamic cost comparison calculation. By applying this tool least cost solutions can be selected that are most suitable in water supply and wastewater disposal whenever mandatory targets have to be met.

A workshop will be held between consortium members who are responsible for Delivery 1 of the EU JRC project. At the workshop, consortium members will present the finings of tasks, which will form part of the report for delvierable 1 of the project.
