Only a few percent of our common water resource is freshwater. I have been looking for seminars, sessions and items that discuss H20 more specific. It is hard to find, maybe it is considered to be a ubiquity for those who planned the conference? One specific problem is salt water intrusion. It is a problem related to a changing climate. I have not yet seen any existing information on this life essence, freshwater, on the agenda. Besides coal, water must be one of the big issues to discuss! In one of the opening speeches we could hear that especially the least developed countries could expect grand economic resources transferred to them for mitigation and adaptation investments. This is of course not just an act of solidarity! One man said, "investments to meet new needs are certainly expensive, but, there are enormous economic and social benefits for those who can be part of the development". The best available practice or the most effective techniques to halter for example saltwater intrusion, is still missing!
