This book is a result of the NATO-SPS (NFA) Workshop held in
Istanbul, Turkey, in October 2007. The main goal of the Workshop
was to provide knowledge and build the skills of scientists,
engineers, and decision- and policy-makers for the effective
management of watersheds and prevention of or coping with
catastrophic events. The aim of this effort was to transfer the
multidisciplinary approach, information, and knowledge gained by
the LEMSM group (NATO CCMS Pilot Study Group on Ecosystem Modeling
of Coastal Lagoons for Sustainable Management) during their 12
years of collaboration on the Pilot Study to international
scientists and decision-makers.
The Workshop provided participants with an excellent opportunity
to develop understanding and skills in scenario-based
decision-making management of watersheds. Participants from 21
countries exchanged knowledge on how to use advanced tools for
assessment and decision-making that provide the ability to manage
watersheds. Participants benefited from applying the sustainable
use and development models to minimize and mitigate effects on the
natural capital of water resources, watersheds, and thus
socioeconomic systems. This led to recommendations based on a
oeecosystem approacha for decision-making for protection of human
security and peace. Further, group sessions resulted in the
identification of Terms and Principles as well as the
recommendations for application and implementation of sustainable
use and development practices in developing countries. The program
of the Workshop was challenging by embracing a a oehands ona
learning experience.
The book specifically reframes the need for decision support
tools and scientific knowledgein watershed management in the
context of a multidisciplinary, integrated approach.
