This international symposium is an initiative of the Hydrology for the Environment, Life and Policy (HELP) Initiative of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and aims to identify business opportunities for the water sector to integrate into an expanding environmental services industry, and in so doing support the expansion of a sustainable and diversified water business environment. This concept is based on improving water-based businesses by establishing enduring business partnerships that connect water managers with environmental services, as well as boost the multifunctional productivity of water.
