USIEF promotes mutual understanding among Fulbrighters and their communities on social and environmental issues of the U.S. and India through academic and cultural exchanges. USIEF is organizing this workshop as an attempt to deliberate sustained efforts of various stakeholders and to highlight the importance of a management-oriented outlook that will replace the demand or supply augmentation-oriented approach of the previous decades. The objectives of this workshop are: 1. To create a platform for interaction among Fulbrighters, policy makers, academic, researchers and NGOs and address at least one of the four principles or normative concerns of water management, namely, equity, efficiency, sustainability and democratization; 2. To determine how the process and institutional innovations are embedded in the bio-physical context and characteristics of water, and how the technologies also get shaped by and operate in as part of social and institutional processes and contexts; 3. To develop a stronger network among experts and institutions in order to achieve modalities for efficient management of water (used for domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes), especially in rural and urban contexts of water resources in India Important Dates: Submission of abstracts August 31, 2008 Submission of revised paper December 15, 2008 Submission of PowerPoint presentations December 31, 2008 Access more details about the workshop here: Workshop: Innovations in the Water Sector
