The importance of water policing is well known. However, the reality of its efficient implementation is a challenge in most situations around the world. In order to answer questions being raised by a host of water professionals, INBO has produced a manual on “water policing”, based on examples collected around the world, particularly thanks to the support of the INBO’s regional networks.

The document provides essential recommendations on the fundamental themes of water policing, which are also illustrated by practical case studies taken from contributions by INBO members.

The manual was launched at the World Water Forum in Dakar in March 2022. It is initially available in French, English and Spanish.

Session 13 of the European River Symposium 2021 presented the current stakes and objectives of water management in agriculture, illustrated by some case studies from several stakeholders. A discussion time together with the intervention of the European Commission was also the opportunity to address how the future CAP and Green Deal could help achieving these, for a sustainable agriculture that preserves water.
