This important conference will especially deal with four strategic topics:

2. Water sharing between uses (hydropower, urban use, tourist resorts, industry, irrigated agriculture, etc.),
3. Pollution prevention upstream of water courses and springs,
4. Economic development of water resources in mountains (hydropower, mineral waters, water-related sports, tourism, etc.).
