Drin basin countries are confronted with a multitude of challenges in terms of closely related forest and water management. In these countries, such challenges need to be tackled jointly by forestry and water management through greater synergy potential between forest and water administrations including concerned stakeholders.
The aim of the workshop was to enhance the understanding and knowledge of participants on various subjects related to Sustainable Forest Management in relation to water and soil conservation, including on:
- Aspects of forest hydrology and the factors influencing the management of water in forest ecosystems
- Forest management practices concerning soil and water protection
- The EU Acquis (Directives, Regulations etc) related to the interface of forests/water/soil, and to what extent national policies are harmonised
- How forests in the region are expected to be affected by the impacts of climate change
- Innovative practices and tools (including the use of digital technologies) for regulating water balance in forests
- Examples of relevant successful sustainable practices from the Region and beyond
- Possible synergies or trade-offs with other activities or sectors, notably hydropower, biomass, agriculture, and tourism
