1 International Training Workshop on Integrated Sediment Management in River Basin November 5-10, 2018 Beijing, China Sponsored by UNESCO Ministry of Water Resources, P.R. China Organized by International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES) UNESCO Office Beijing and Jakarta International Sediment Initiative (ISI)-IHP-UNESCO Co-sponsored by China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) International Centre for Water Resources and Global Change (ICWRGC) World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research (WASER) World Association of Soil and Water Conservation (WASWAC)
2 INTRODUCTION: The concept of water security involves the sustainable use and protection of water systems, protection against water related hazards (floods and droughts), the sustainable development of water resources and the safeguarding of (access to) water functions and services for humans and the environment. Sound governance policies, based on well-grounded science, are the precondition to address water security challenges in today s setting. Sediment management must be seen as playing a key role in achieving water security at different scales. Across the world, erosion, sediment transport and sedimentation processes have wide-ranging social, economic and environmental impacts. Modification of the sediment budgets of catchments and river basins by human activities result in important social, economic and environmental repercussions. The negative impacts of erosion and sedimentation are further exacerbated by global change. However, there are major gaps in baseline sediment data, in current knowledge and understanding of sediment mobilization, transport and storage and sediment budgets, and in our understanding of socio-economic and environmental impacts. Sediment management strategies and practices must be improved if we are to deal effectively with erosion and sedimentation problems. INTERNATIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOP: An International Training Workshop on Integrated Sediment Management in River Basins will be held in Beijing, China in November Sponsored by UNESCO and the China Ministry of Water Resources and organized by IRTCES, the UNESCO Beijing Office and the UNESCO International Sediment Initiative (ISI) it represents a major activity of ISI for Integrated sediment management in river basins refers to the sustainable management of sediment by solving different sediment problems in a coordinated manner, with the aim of protecting the well-being of the people living in the river basin and promoting the sustainable use of land and water resources. It seeks to ensure that basins are economically productive, socially equitable, and environmentally sustainable. The International Training Workshop on Integrated Sediment Management in River Basins has been designed to fulfil the demands of engineers, scientists, managers, stakeholders and decision-makers engaged in river basin management, river governance, reservoir operation, flood control and water and environmental management in various countries, especially developing countries with serious sediment problems. Through lectures, discussions, exchanges and a one-day field study, participants will learn about relevant technologies, methods and new concepts in the field of integrated sediment management of river basins, as well as discuss sediment problems and their management and extend their professional networks. UNESCO, the Ministry of Water Resources, P.R. China and IRTCES are providing financial support for this training course which is being promoted by ISI within the framework of the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP).
