IFM Training: Training Workshop on Integrated Flood Management for Countries in Western Asia and the Arab Region
The training workshop, jointly organized by UNW-DPC, the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Regional Centre on Urban
Water Management - Tehran (RCUWM) took place from 11-14 May 2009 in
Tehran, Iran. More than 29 participants, including top and mid-level
managers and professionals in water resources management, disaster
management, land use management and spatial planning, met in Tehran to
share their experiences and best practices regarding the national
situation of Integrated Flood Management in their countries.
The
main objective of the training workshop was to familiarize participants
with the concept of Integrated Flood Management and prepare them to
identify possible paths of action towards implementation of the concept
in their own field of work. The technical presentations and the
practical exercises were designed to provide the participants with an
in depth exposure to the social, economic, environmental and
institutional dimensions of flood management and allow them to develop
an integrated perspective on floods, floodplains and the development
process in their own country.
