GIWEH’s General Director, Dr. Nidal Salim has been invited to attend the 2nd World Irrigation Forum (WIF)  to be held in Chiang Mai, Thailand from 6-12 November 2016.

The WIF aims to bring together all stakeholders involved in irrigation to address the problem of food security and rural development in a context of climate change and growing population. The themes include irrigation, drainage, flood management, drought, land reclamation, climate and environment disciplines.

The event represents a good opportunity for GIWEH to keep up with the latest innovative technology for irrigation that can bring solutions to and improve water management in the agricultural sector. During the forum, GIWEH’s General Director will also explore the possibilities to contribute to a water project on climate change and water allocation in the Chao Phraya basin in Thailand, in collaboration with Asia Water Council and the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation in Thailand.
