U.S.-Mexico: Sustainable Development for the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin; June 27-29, 1994, The Woodlands, Texas

这笔美墨奖金将用于支持由休斯顿高级研究中心全球研究中心主任Jurgen Schmandt博士和新莱昂自治大学的Salvador Contreras教授组织的关于里约热内卢Grande/里约热内卢Bravo盆地可持续发展的研讨会。该研讨会将有助于实施bbb Grande/ bb1 Bravo盆地（SDI）的可持续发展倡议。SDI项目涉及美国和墨西哥五个流域机构，旨在通过建立一个负责水管理和经济发展的区域组织网络，鼓励改善该地区水资源的管理和发展选择。讲习班的目标是制定一项详细的行动计划，以执行与会者以前工作的结果和建议。规划的文件应作为今后为该流域建立协调研究和政策制定方案的基础。该地区的一个关键问题是干旱和其他与水有关的紧张事件的频率。随着地下水的日益枯竭、采矿活动的污染、水权从灌溉转移到市政当局以及工业发展的加速，水问题可能会变得更加严重。以全流域为基础的方式应对这些挑战，对于制定可持续的增长和变化对策至关重要。SDI项目旨在为这种方法提供一个长期的议程。＊＊＊

9319833 Schmandt This U.S.-Mexico award will support a workshop on sustainable development for the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo basin, organized by Dr. Jurgen Schmandt, director of the Center for Global Studies, Houston Advanced Research Center and Professor Salvador Contreras, of the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon. The workshop will help to implement a sustainable development initiative for the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin (SDI). The SDI project involves five U.S. and Mexican basin institutions seeking to encourage improved management of the region's water resources and development options by establishing a network of regional groups responsible for water management and economic development. The objective of the workshop is to develop a detailed plan of action for implementing the findings and recommendations resulting from previous work of the participants. The planned document should serve as the foundation for the future establishment of a coordinated research and policy development program for the basin. A key problem in the region is the frequency of drought and other stressful water-related events. With the worsening depletion of ground water, pollution from mining activity, transfers of water rights from irrigation to municipalities and accelerating industrial development, water problems are likely to become more severe. A basin wide community-based approach to these challenges is vital for the creation of sustainable responses to growth and change. The SDI project aims to provide a long- lasting agenda for this approach. ***
