Iskandar Abdullaev presents his book: Socio-Technical Aspects of Water Resources Management in Central Asia

Central Asia Research and Development Network is organising a presentation of the book of Dr. Abdullaev 'Socio-Technical Aspects of Water Resources Management in Central Asia'.
The book will provide research results of the work of the author in the area of water management. The water resources management is diverse and a political process with plurality of actors, institutions and objectives of water management. The water management in post-soviet Central Asia is becoming more a social and political process rather than a straightforward techno-technological issue. Therefore, coordination of the water sector reforms in different countries will help to reduce competition for water at the regional level. The book highlights social, political, technical and management issues of the water management in this region. The book collects research results of author during the last decade.
The presentation will take place in Brussels, Belgium on 25th of June at 4.00 – 5.30 p.m. in Pleinlaan 5, 1050, Ixelles, in the premises kindly provided by Vesalius College, VUB. The presentation will be followed by questions and answers session and a small reception.
