During our lunch, I learned that Pedro Arrojo and several of his colleagues are currently organizing a first-class exhibit called Agua, Rios, Pueblos, which translates as Water, Rivers and Communities. The exhibit has already been presented successfully in Malaga, Spain and Mexico City, Mexico. Now it is comming to Barcelona in May 2010. The exhibit shows how different communities have managed water conflicts around the globe. In the next few months, local organizations in Catalunya will be invited to participate, and create case studies surrounding local water conflicts. The issues in the Llobregat river basin are likely to appear as one of the case studies. I look forward to helping, even if in a small way.
This event promises to have a considerable number of visitors. It should attract the attention of the press and the public on river management problems both locally and around the world. More later...
