FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS Coll_SEMEAU_2012_First_Circu_V7.doc 31/08/2011 16:39:33 Projet SEMEAU LIFE+ Environment SEMEAU project Final International Conference How to combine Forest Management, Local Development and Protection of Surface and Groundwater? LIFE, is the EU’s financial instrument supporting environmental and nature conservation projects throughout the EU. With the objective of favouring the WFD implementation, the LIFE+ Environment SEMEAU Project (2009-2012) aims at developing participative land management strategies at the watershed scale, involving particularly forest (but also agriculture) management, with the objective of favouring both local economic development and surface and groundwater protection. In that frame, the SEMEAU project is developing specific numerical management tools. The SEMEAU conference aims at presenting the outputs of the LIFE+ SEMEAU project in the frame of a broader international meeting devoted to the main following themes. Conference themes: hydrological and hydrogeological relationships between forest and surface and groundwater (quantity, quality) and biodiversity, interaction-retroactions linked to the global change (climate change, wood demand, abandonment of farmland, cities growth, etc.); technical tools (numerical models, DST) for improving the knowledge about and managing the relationships between forest and water resources, from the plot to the watershed and the WFD water body scale; best practices aiming at a joint valorisation of forest stands, at the management and protection of surface and groundwater, at the biodiversity preservation, and at reaching the WFD objectives. Evaluation of the global benefit of such joint approaches - Technical and socioeconomic approaches; local to European (WFD), and other countries, scale strategies, policies, amenities and ecological services, contractualization and juridical tools aiming at favouring local development (forestry, agriculture, Coll_SEMEAU_2012_First_Circu_V7.doc 31/08/2011 16:39:33 Projet SEMEAU tourism, etc.) and the preservation / return to the ecological good status of water resources, particularly in forested and rural European areas submitted to abandonment of farmland – Organizational and socioeconomic approaches; outputs of the LIFE+ Environment 2009-2012 SEMEAU project. The conference will comprise oral presentations (both open and with conference invitees), poster sessions and round tables. The conference is aiming at gathering together: - professionals and stakeholders involved in water, forest and environment management and protection (rivers and aquifers management, forestry, natural parks and reserves, WFD implementation, etc.), scientists, engineers, consultants, elected representatives, local, state, national, European and International authorities, etc., - from France, Europe and other countries.
