Dear Colleagues
The final workshop of 2005 run by the International Boundaries Research
Unit will be held from 19-21 September, in Durham, on the subject of
'River Boundaries: Practicalities and Solutions'.
This unique course is designed to help boundary-makers and managers
develop effective strategies for turning river boundaries into assets
rather than a source of friction between the riparian states. Led by
expert tutors with practical experience of resolving problems associated
with river boundaries, the workshop will cover issues such as: defining
and demarcating river boundaries; identifying key river features such as
the thalweg, the 'main channel' and the 'banks'; islands in boundary
rivers; monitoring and accommodating physical changes in river
boundaries; managing access and resource use in shared rivers; and
resolving disputes over river boundaries.
