The key note speaker was Ms. Ida AUKEN – Environmental Minister of Denmark. The minister highlighted the importance of water as the most important issue of coming years, and as a hot topic besides the oil and other natural resources. She underlined that besides the economic crisis the other crisis as climate and resource are as severe as economic crisis and all the crises have to be addressed equally and the challenges solved together. No improved competitiveness without a substantial improvement in resource efficiency in a broad sense including efficiency in water.
