During the Week of March 21-26, 1999 a series of parallel meetings took place in Panama City, Republic of Panama, which collectively was referred to as Hater Week in Panama. The Second International Colloquium on Hydrology and Water Management in the Humid Tropics, as one of these events, brought together a group of leading researchers and water managers from around the world who work in the humid tropics region or execute research programs related to the hydrology of these regions. The partiepants discussed their research and how it relates to the need of water managers for hydrologic understanding upon which to base sound management decisions. During this Water Week in Panama the inaugural and closing sessions of the Colloquium, the lunches, a field trip through the Panama Canal, and other social events were combined with the other events that formed part of the Water Week. In this manner, the organizers stimulated a lively dialogue between practicing water managers and researchers on currcrt water issues.
The Colloquium consisted of presentations of technical papers and discussions on the following themes:
• Multi-dimensional Approach to Water Management
• Climate Variability and the Impacts on Hydrology and Water Resources
• Surface, Sub-surface and Ground Water Quality
• Urban Hydrology
• Tropical Island Hydrology
• An Ecohydrological Perspective of Montane Cloud Forests
Because of the great importance of ground water as source of water resources, a special paper on groundwater quality in the Humid Tropics, by Foster, et al. was presented. Because of the importance of the subject the paper has been placed in these Proceedings next to the Closing Remarks.
In parallel with the Colloquium, the Organization of American States (OAS). the National Environmental Authority (ANAM) of Panama, the Inter-American Water Resources Network (1WRN), and the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC) held the Third Inter-American Dialogue on Water Management on March 21-25, 1999. The meeting of more than two hundred senior water managers and decision makers of stakeholder groups identified actions for integrated water resources management in a the following five general areas:
• Water and health
• Transboundary water management
• Economic valuation of water
• Public participation
• Responses to impacts of global change
Using case studies and round table discussions, the Dialogue sought to assign priorities to the identified initiatives to encourage water managers to take action at local levels in their countries. The Dialogue also aimed at fostering political support for these initiatives within the governments of the Americas and within multilateral funding agencies atthc hemispheric level.
Early during tile week. 50 members of the Inter-American Water Resources Network (IWRN) Advisory Committee met to elaborate future activities of the 1WRN including the support the World Water Vision in a scries of rational workshops during 1999, the water information summit in the fall of 1999, and a meeting of experts on water and health.
Participants of all parallel meetings visited the Children and Water Festival to receive the Children’s Declaration on Water and to witness the dedication by the children of the “Water is Life" fountain in the Parquc Omar, Panama City. Panama. The festival, organized by the Office of the First Lady of Panama, with assistance from ANAM. CATHALAC, and many other organizations, served as a reminder to the water professionals of the importance of educating the future generations on the importance of clean water for a healthy environment, a productive economy, and good public health.
An exhibition, AQUA '99. was also held during the meeting. Consultants, water-related industrial firms, professional organizations, and NGOs presented their products, services, and programs.
Finally, the Committee for the Water Vision of the Americas (CWVA), a committee formed to facilitate and coordinate the World W'ater Council’s W'ater Vision activity in the Americas, held the first Water Vision in the Americas Workshop during the last tw'0 days of the Water Week. A group of 70 water policy-makers met to develop a general understanding of the purpose of the vision effort and to develop a process and framework for conducting the Water Vision exercise in a series of meetings to be held during 1999 in various regions of the Americas. The Committee examined the recommendations and priorities developed during the Second Colloquium, the Third Dialogue and other recent meetings, to gain a sense of how water management in the Americas will develop over the next several decades and consecutively develop a general consensus on the shape of the future of water resources under several proposed scenarios. The elaborated regional visions will be presented at the W'orld Water Forum in March 2000 in the Netherlands.
Apart from this intensive agenda, there were numerous social events, of which especially the boat trip through the Panama Canal made an unforgettable impression on the 300 participants of the Witer Week. Many professional and personal relationships were established, renewed or strengthened during these social events
This book contains speeches, conclusions, recommendations, final statements and technical papers that were presented at the Colloquium.
The organizers wish to express their gratitude to the Government of the Republic of Panama for the generous offer to host these events and to contribute actively to their organization. Dr. John s. Gladwcll, President of Hydro Tech International, was responsible for the editing and preparation of the manuscript of this book for publication by UNESCO.
