6th World Water Forum - Day 3

Marseille is nice. Another day with nice weather and intersting discussions. SIWI has been very active - today for example a new report on land aqcusitions and transboundary water management was launched that received a lot of attention and interest both from media as well as forum participants. The topic is new interesting and an emerging and important area that requires much more attention. The water aspect in the new land deals have largely been forgotten (or ignored) and there is a need to include water aspects in the land contracts. A land investment is a water investment.

Listen to Anders Jägerskog's radio interview here, "Leasing Land, Leasing Water".
