(b) Issues concerning technologies for increasing efficiency in the use of water and for water recycling, and the transfer and adaptation of such technologies.

Reforming subsidies that encourage unsustainable water use could encourage water conservation and investments in water saving technologies and practices.

66. A member of the Committee made a statement on issues concerning technologies for increasing efficiency in the use of water and for water recycling, including the transfer and adaptation of such technologies.

I do research on leading edge technologies for waste water treatment as well as MOLO class technologies for sanitation in the developing world.

89. The immediate course of action must centre on water conservation through rational utilization of water resources and use of efficient technologies.

ISSUES CONCERNING TECHNOLOGIES FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY IN THE USE OF WATER AND FOR WATER RECYCLING, AND THE TRANSFER AND ADAPTATION OF SUCH

Strengthening research and development and dissemination of new technologies are also important avenues for improving water productivity and efficiency in water consuming sectors.

Irrigation equipment testing Desertification and water management Water harvesting technologies Climate monitoring (Risk management) Strategies drought mitigation Refining analytical systems Strategies rehabilitation of degraded lands Efficient irrigation Water recycling

Further research will be undertaken on the development of waste water treatment and disposal technologies, particularly the contribution they can make to integrated water resources management.

Further research will focus on development of waste water treatment and disposal technologies and, in particular, the contribution they can make to integrated water resources management.

The Northern Water Network was launched at the Third World Water Forum in an effort to build a network among the water community in industrialized countries to exchange experiences, technologies and know how.

For example water resources management and agriculture technologies that were introduced in West Africa after the 1972 drought.

There is also a need to intensify efforts to develop water and land related technologies for irrigation and water desalination, using solar energy technologies, and to develop pollution control measures, including integrated programmes for pest management and the control of chemical pollution.

It also established a ballast water review group to determine whether appropriate technologies are available to achieve the ballast water performance standard required under regulation D 2.

Adopt domestic water treatment technologies that provide for recovery and reuse of water, nutrients and organic matter in ways that are safe and profitable to the operator

Technical cooperation activities will concentrate on the transfer and adaptation of water technologies and the promotion of economic and legal measures to improve efficiency in water use.

UNICEF will build new partnerships, especially in the private sector, to identify and develop low cost, reliable, and user friendly technologies in water supply, water quality and sanitation.

Using participant identified indicators of success, he said that water harvesting technology is one of the most desired technologies.

Experts on economic development in Africa naturally concentrate on basic technologies clean water, energy for cooking, electricity, and improved roads.

FAO provides advice on water use and efficiency in agriculture and land management, as well as on technologies for abstraction.

Moreover, the provision for environmentally sound technologies, jointly developed with women, with particular application to clean water supply is encouraged.

(f) Technologies for the determination of hydro geologic area patterns and construction of integrated infrastructures for the supply of water

USAID projects in Egypt, India and South Africa will mobilize private sector financing for municipalities and water authorities to purchase water meters, wastewater equipment, upgraded technologies and ancillary facility services.

Likewise, businesses and industries that are heavy water users will simply develop new technologies and thrive in the face of scarcity.

The Committee noted the transfer to developing countries of space technologies and expertise that could be used for water resource management.

Sustainable technologies and networks must be developed to ensure that all indigenous communities have sustained access to potable water and electricity

(v) Research, development and dissemination of information on low cost and efficient wastewater treatment technologies, including on water quality and reuse

Practical solutions will include many components, including better water management, improved technologies to increase the efficiency of water use, and new investments undertaken jointly by governments, the business sector, and civic organizations.

India supplies Africa with computer education courses, the most reliable water pumps, low cost rice milling equipment, and dozens of other technologies.

Together with poor infrastructure, many small farmers in Africa have insufficient access to productive assets, such as land, water, and new technologies.

Assuming that the poor use much less water, the monthly cost of conventional network technologies drops to 20 still a significant outlay.

UNIDO also works on manufacturing conservation agriculture technologies, mainly water harvesting and zero tillage, bamboo and oil palm plantations and downstream oil.

Less developed countries will need assistance in modern technologies for renewable energy, particularly in rural areas, water management with transfer of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) as well as capacity building in cleaner and sustainable industrial production.

(iii) Fellowships and grants South South cooperation to facilitate exchange of information and experience on sustainable development policies and transfer of technologies in the area of renewable and clean energy technologies and water resources management (8 fellows)

Pulling water out of Monterey fog and out of the sweaty air in Atlanta, before it gets into a building, are key technologies.

(ii) New technologies, including information and communication technologies, mobility aids, devices, assistive technologies, suitable for persons with disabilities, giving priority to affordably priced technologies

Low farm yields can be addressed through improved seed varieties specially adapted for African conditions, combined with technologies for replenishing soil and managing water.

(c) Develop and transfer low cost technologies for safe water supply and treatment, in accordance with countries' needs, with a focus on the following

(i) Promoting access to appropriate low cost and environmentally sustainable water use and supply technologies through North South and South South cooperation and partnerships
