RCUWM Meeting in Tehran: 16 Nations Discuss Water Issues

The water crisis unfolding across continents is a global challenge that needs to be addressed through meaningful collaboration and networking, the officer-in-charge of the UNESCO Tehran cluster office said in Tehran Thursday on the sidelines of a meeting of the board of governors of the Regional Centre for Urban Water Management.
“It is not only the quantity of water, but also quality; access to clean and fresh water is one of the issues that should be tackled through cooperation among all RCUWM member states,” the Energy Ministry news portal Paven quoted Cvetan Cvetkovski as saying.
“We see that the RCUWM has the capacity for research and collaboration and can affect all countries in the region so that we address the existing challenges,” he added.
Organized under the auspices of UNESCO, the meeting was attended by water and energy ministers and senior officials from 16 countries.
