                            FOUM MONDIALE SULL'ACQUA Dal 16 al 22 marzo a Città del Messico,
 è riunito il Forum Mondiale dell'Acqua
 
 This is the last day of the conference, not counting 
                            the Formal Closing tomorrow, which I can only attend 
                            part of, and is unlikely to be substantive beyond 
                            the formal declarations. Today's theme is Risk Management 
                            and the geographic area focused on is the Asia Pacific 
                            Region.
 
 As an environmentalist, as we all like to think of 
                            ourselves, I have availed myself of editorial privilege 
                            and expanded somewhat more on climate change and its 
                            effect on the planet, through water availability, 
                            than on some of the specific Asian problems.
 
 One reason (let's see if this is printed), is that 
                            I found some of the Asian presenters so difficult 
                            to understand in English that I had to resort to earphones 
                            and the Spanish translation to understand what they 
                            were saying.
 Special thanks to the interpreters who did a truly 
                            remarkable job (unless they made it all up).
 I have a very fond spot for Asia - I merely think 
                            that several presentations could have been prepared 
                            with the audience in mind . . . .
