Risk management of water supply and sanitation systems impaired by operational
failures, natural disasters and war conflicts
The workshop aims to
provide an opportunity for increasing the awareness of and provide an overview
of the water and sanitation sector in risk management. The overall goal of the
program is to bring together scientists from NATO and partner countries and
focus the communication on challenges in water supply and sanitation systems
impaired by operational failures, natural disasters and war conflicts. The
proposed topic will focus on the issues surrounding emergency access to
drinking water system, wastewater and sanitation system following operational
failures, natural disasters and the impact of conflict. It will also focus on
subsequent approaches to rehabilitation and mitigation. Mitigation measures aim
to fulfill basic needs, providing minimum levels of well-being and preventing
the spread of disease. Water supply and sanitation system are particularly
important in this context, as lack of access to them can lead rapidly to the
spread of communicable diseases.
