Fox: Nation may have to pay more for water
http://www.mexiconews.com.mx/pls/impreso/noticia.html?id_nota=9950&tabla=miami
President Vicente Fox on Saturday called on Mexicans to use water responsibly and pay their bills, warning that the nation could soon confront serious shortages. In his weekly radio program "Fox Contigo" translated as "Fox With You," the president said citizens should be willing to pay more for their water if necessary, because it helps to maintain the nation's aging water utilities ... Fox added Saturday that Mexico will host the fourth World Forum on Water in March of 2006, which will bring together international water experts. |

As water crisis gets bigger, some experts say smaller is better
By Mark Stevenson
| Quote: | Experts throw around phrases like Integrated Water Resources Management, or IWRM, and Multi-stakeholder Processes. IWRM may sound as bad a typhoid, but most experts agree on it. It means taking into account all the effects of a dam before you build it, sizing the dam according to the needs it is to meet, and using it wisely, rather than as a big water tap installed on a river.
Multi-stakeholder process means bringing together everybody affected by ñ or benefiting from ñ a project from the planning stage. It means taking their opinions seriously, and presenting alternatives, not a take-it-or-leave-it approach.
Perhaps, experts will be able to find some smaller words to say that.

The right to water: Dialog avoided at World Water Forum - Jakarta Post
http://www.thejakartapost.com/detaileditorial.asp?fileid=20060323.E03&irec=5
| Quote: | Unfortunately, instead of having a dialog, these two groups seem unable to find common ground. In parallel with the 4th World Water Forum (WWF), a group of NGOs and civil society organizations from around the globe are organizing another event, namely the International Forum in Defense of Water. For its supporters, the event is known as the "Real" World Water.
As expected, at this forum, speakers and participants from many different countries have repetitively voiced their rejection of private involvement in water provision. Even when there is a chance for dialog inside the 4th WWF, the two sides seem to avoid it.

|

IV Foro Mundial de Agua  :  (
Mi primer desilusión del Foro fue enterarme que NINGÚN hotel que hospedo a las delegaciones que participaron, tanto del extranjero, como los de provincia de nuestro propio país, aplico mi sencilla propuesta que vengo promoviendo desde hace años,
“Decidir la frecuencia del cambio de blanco, sabanas y toallas, en sus habitaciones por los 7 días que duro el Foro.”
Todo quedo igual!!!
Yo tenia ilusión de poder participar con una ponencia. Trate de inscribirme para participar, pero no hubo manera posible.
En el portal aparecía siempre que aún no se podía inscribir.
Y como simple mortal también tuve muchas dificultades para inscribirme como espectador, amen de las largas colas y
desorganización a la entrega de los gafetes.
Al parecer este foro fue echo solo para la elite de la elite de la elite....
Decenas de conferencias simultaneas en una centro de Convenciones que queda lejísimos. Seguramente hubo ponencias muy interesantes, pero imposible de asistir a dos importantes al menos. El área de exposición estaba muy desolada, a pesar de ser domingo.
Unos amigos de Israel que presentaban la técnica muy desarrollada de riego por goteo, se quejaron de la poca afluencia e interés de los visitantes.
El costo elevadísimo de la entrada USD 150 por día por persona (con comida); 600 USD por todo el tiempo del Foro solo como espectador.
TODO tenia que hacerse vía Internet,, lo cual excluye a una gran cantidad de gente interesada que NO goza de estos privilegios virtuales, especialmente en un país en "desarrollo".
Con mi presentación, del distintivo Mariposa de Agua, que se dará a un grupo de académicos docentes de varias universidades, pretendo dejar el dedo sobre el renglón, sobre la importancia
de seguir propuestas educativas de ahorro de agua en nuestro país donde la mayoría de los ríos, lagos y playas están contaminados, donde la vieja Tenochtitlán se esta hundiendo día a día por el exceso de extracción de los mantos freáticos y para el colmo el robo del agua de otras comunidades, sustrayendo un alto porcentaje de los ríos Lerma y Cutzamala, para bombearlos a una altura de 2300 MSN, además de dejar que el agua de lluvia se nos valla
por el caño, sin aprovecharla, dejando que se sature a un grado de
peligrosidad la capacidad de los dos túneles y el gran canal del desagüe que ya están rebasados |
