The development of computer models of the physical, chemical and biological processes that take place in the environment allows for analysis of different alternatives and strategies for environmental resources management, without incurring the expense and difficulties of real-world implementation. The holistic approach to resources management calls for integration of natural and human systems through the process of Integrated Water Resources System (IWRM). In line with this new trend, a special program: MTERM (Modeling Tools for Environment and Resources Management), was established under Danida-AIT Cooperation Program (1999-2004). MTERM emphasizes on development and application of modeling tools for water resources and environmental management and on IWRM. MTERM Conference is an activity under this program.
The primary objective of the conference is to bring together international expertise in water and environment sectors where modeling skills and IWRM principles and concepts are needed and to share their experiences, innovative ideas, and to disseminate the state-of-the-art knowledge.
Researchers, professionals and students from various universities, institutes and organizations to present their research findings and share technical and operational information dealing with scientific approaches in management of water and environment .
Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand. 06 - 10 June, 2005
A two-day training workshop on Governance of Transboundary Waters will be conducted in collaboration with "The Universities Partnership for Transboundary Waters"
(http://waterpartners.geo.orst.edu)
The five-day conference includes:
- Two-day training workshop
- Keynote addresses
- Oral presentations
- Poster presentations
- Exhibitions
Papers focusing on Concepts, Tools and Methods involved in studying the processes and management strategies exploring one or several
aspects of the following:
- Integrated Water Resources Management
- Modeling of Water Resources
- Water Quality Management and Modeling
- Air Pollution Modeling
A CD-ROM of the Conference Proceedings and a copy of MTERM Research Compendium will be provided to each of the participants.
The research compendium consists of the technical/research papers published in various journals and conferences based on the research
carried out at AIT under MTERM.
Official language of the conference will be English. No translation services will be provided.
