The IWHA exists to promote the understanding of the history of water resources; to bring together those with an interest in water history from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds; and also to promote dialogue and mutual understanding between historians and those involved in the practice of water resource management. There will be three major themes at the conference: The Ideas of Water The History of Water, Science and Technology The History of Water: Law, Economics and Politics These themes reflect IWHA involvement in the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme's major book series on Water and Civilisation. Papers presented at the conference, or an elaborated version of their contents, may be considered for inclusion in this book series at a later stage. These themes are not exclusive. Papers on other areas of water history will be welcomed. The conference will also host a special symposium entitled "The Management of Water Resources in the Nile Basin". Proposals are also welcomed for papers related to this topic. The second annual conference of the IWHA, held in Bergen in August 2001, attracted participants from over 70 countries. It is hoped to repeat the success of that conference in bringing participation from a wide range of disciplines and regions. The IWHA is currently seeking funding to enable financial support - which will be targeted towards participants who may have difficulties raising funding from their home institutions. Abstracts, approximately 300-500 words in length, plus an accompanying CV, should be sent by the 15th November 2002 to: Hesham Mohamed Kandil, Ph.D. Director for Technology and Information Minister's Office Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation Cornish El-Nil, Imbaba 6th floor P.O Box 12666 Giza, Egypt Tel : +20(2) 544 9420 Fax: +20(2) 544 9410 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This text is also available on the IWHA website: http://www.iwha.net/call-for-papers.htm The IWHA Member Pages are located at http://www.iwha.net/members ------- End of forwarded message ------- ************************************ Dr. Stefanie S.
