Summary
Summary
Proceedings of a conference on "Integrated River Basin Management under the Water Framework Directive", held at Le Nouveau SiÞcle, Lille, France on 26th-28th April 2010. The book reviews technical challenges faced by EU Member States, stakeholder organisations and scientists while developing the first River Basin Management Plan under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It focusses on aspects of multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary integration and how emerging issues such as adaptation to climate change will be considered in the future.
