INBO - Newsletter

SUMMARY Dear readers, As you will see, in this new issue of INBO Newsletter, we propose you a slightly modified layout, with new headings for each thematic entry rather than by continent. Our goal? To further enhance the variety and richness of the actions and analyses carried out by our members and partners, around a common theme that cements our Network, the integrated water resource management at basin level. We hope that this new presentation will convince you. Enjoy reading it!
