On January 27th 2011 Minister Remmel from the North-Rhine Westphalian (NRW) Ministry for climate protection, environment, farming, nature and consumer protection has invited experts, politicians, decision makers, planners and engineers to the conference "water in change?".
The conference highlighted impressingly the actual results of research and implementation projects how water management is affected by changing climate.
