The CPWF-MUS project participated at a number of important global events in the water sector.
The MUS Group, together with the RiPPLE programme, organised an international symposium on multiple-use services from 4-6 November, 2008, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The multiple-use of water was a topic at the 5th World Water Forum in Istanbul in March 2009. Two sessions were organised, one focusing on characterising multiple-use services and its costs and benefits, and one on governance aspects related to multiple-use services.
A session on multiple use of water was hosted at the CPWF forumin Vientiane, Lao PDR. Around 50 participants, mainly scientists, but also some policy makers and practitioners, discussed issues related to multiple uses.
