3rd International Interdisciplinary Conference: Effect of Agriculture on the Environment
A conference on the cutting edge of science, management and policy to minimise effects of agriculture and land use changes on the quality of groundwater and surface waters.
The Hague, the Netherlands, 29 May – 1 June 2017 Abstracts can be submitted by 17 October 2016. More information is on http://www.luwq2017.nl/ Download program
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION (Abstracts are due by 17 October 2016) • Dico Fraters, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, NL
Jointly convened by: • DEFRA, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, United Kingdom
This conference aims to discuss the entire policy cycle for water quality improvement. This cycle includes problem recognition, formulation of technical options, the process of policy development, interaction with policy makers, stakeholders and pressure groups, policy implementation, monitoring and research. This conference also aims to intensify contacts, on the one hand, between scientists with a background in natural sciences and scientists with a background in social and economic sciences and, on the other hand, between scientists, water managers and policy makers. In short, the objectives are:
Target groups and keywords The conference deals with themes and topics characterised by the following keywords:
Contributions (abstract submissions) are solicited according to the following themes (themes A through H): A - Increasing our understanding of "systems function": research to increase understanding and improving modelling of the hydro(geo)logical, geochemical and biochemical reality; B - Water quality monitoring: improving monitoring and data management; C - Impact of climate change on land use and water quality: assessment of impact on groundwater and surface water quality; D - Assessment of national or regional policy: effectiveness of programmes of measures on water quality on a regional and national scale; E - Quantifying the impacts of land management practices on water quality: research (monitoring and modelling) at plot, field and catchment scales to quantify the effects of farming practices and changes in land use; F - Managing protected areas for water supply and nature conservation: risk assessment techniques, monitoring and modelling of water quality and quantity for the protection of (a) water resources for drinking water supply, and (b) groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems; G - Decision-making on Programmes of Measures: the role of stakeholder input and science in policy decision-making; H - Implementation of Programmes of Measures: social and economic incentives and regulatory mandates that drive implementation (carrots and sticks).
