Selected Proceedings of the 1st IWA World Water Congress, held in Paris, France, 3-7 July 2000. The World Water Congress held in Paris in July 2000 was the first under the banner of the International Water Association, formed by the merger of the International Association on Water Quality and the International Water Services Association. The success of the merger was reflected in the unprecedented degree of interest and participation in the Congress, with nearly two-and-a-half thousand delegates attending for 450 oral presentations, 750 poster presentations and 4 workshops and seminars. From the large number of oral presentations, 41 have been selected for this issue. The first five highlight the work of the IWA Task Group that is devising the River Water Quality Model No 1; three papers set out key aspects of the model as it reaches its final form and two case studies show how the model can be implemented. Other papers selected cover the topics of: stormwater management; water resources management and protection including diffuse pollution; river basin management and organization; environmental restoration; and environmental engineering education. With authors who rank among the world's leading experts in these fields, tackling some of the most prominent contemporary problems, these proceedings are an essential compilation of the latest advances relating to the management of impacts on the water environment.

The United Nations World Water Development Report, published every three years, is a comprehensive review providing an authoritative picture of the state of the world's freshwater resources. It offers best practices as well as in-depth theoretical analyses to help stimulate ideas and actions for better stewardship in the water sector. It is the only report of its kind, resulting from the collaboration and contributions of the 26 UN agencies, commissions, program, funds, secretariats and conventions that have a significant role in addressing global water concerns. The news media are full of talk of crises - in climate change, energy and food and troubled financial markets. These crises are linked to each other and to water resources management. Unresolved, they may lead to increasing political insecurity and conflict. Water is required to meet our fundamental needs and rising living standards and to sustain our planet‘s fragile ecosystems. Pressures on the resource come from a growing and mobile population, social and cultural change, economic development and technological change. Adding complexity and risk is climate change, with impacts on the resource as well as on the sources of pressure on water. The challenges, though substantial, are not insurmountable. The Report shows how some countries have responded. Progress in providing drinking water is heartening, with the Millennium Development Goal target on track in most regions. But other areas remain unaddressed, and after decades of inaction, the problems in water systems are enormous and will worsen if left unattended. Leaders in the water sector can inform decisions outside their domain and manage water resources to achieve agreed socioeconomic objectives and environmental integrity. Leaders in government, the private sector and civil society determine these objectives and allocate human and financial resources to meet them. Recognizing this responsibility, they must act now!

The 3rd World Water Congress, the first to be held in the southern hemisphere, was structured with a wide-ranging and high-quality programme, with around 900 presentations in plenary, platform, poster and workshop sessions. The full spectrum of the global community of water professionals was represented in this unparalleled opportunity to address the key challenges in water and sanitation and to report advances in water and environmental management. Over 650 papers have subsequently been peer-reviewed for publication and this issue comprises 64 papers selected on aspects of water services management. Topics covered include: infrastructure design and rehabilitation; distribution system operation and maintenance; water losses strategy and management; water quality maintenance in distribution; information technology for utility management; monitoring and analysis; comparing performance and standards of service; investment pricing and economic reform; improving institutions and public sector performance; and planning and management. With articles by some of the world?s leading experts, highlighting developments in research, policy and practical applications, these proceedings are a highly valuable compilation of the latest advances in the technology and management of water services.
