Apparently CSIRO has changed it's name to UNESCO.
Pasted from site...International Hydrological Program IHP is UNESCO's international scientific cooperative programme in water research, water resources management, education and capacity-building, and the only broadly-based science programme of the UN system in this area.
to act as a vehicle through which Member States, cooperating professional and scientific organizations and individual experts can upgrade their knowledge of the water cycle, thereby increasing their capacity to better manage and develop their water resources
to develop techniques, methodologies and approaches to better define hydrological phenomena
to improve water management, locally and globally
to act as a catalyst to stimulate cooperation and dialogue in water science and management
to assess the sustainable development of vulnerable water resources
to serve as a platform for increasing awareness of global water issues.
The planning, definition of priorities, and supervision of the execution of IHP are ensured by the Intergovernmental Council. The Bureau of the Intergovernmental Council of the IHP co-ordinates the work of the Council between sessions.
WHY IS PETER NOT INVOLVED IN THIS? He is an important individual expert here! He may not have the same view as others but that is a good reason to have him on it to represent a different view!!! He knows so much about water hydrology in the Australian landscape. All countries cannot be treated the same. There always needs to be representatives from different background on committes that effect our future as a whole and this seems to be proffessionals and people with one sided views. That is not a good representation of who should be indicating the future of our water practises in Australia.
