      Moreover, we deal with the Vu Gia Thu Bon river basin as a case study. In this river basin, there are many attractive materials for IWRM such as flooding, hydropower, bio-diversity, land use, etc.
      Then we'll have many opportunities to have group discussions for enhancing the network among the participants and lecturers.

      Before the Session, 6th HELP meeting will be held on 17 November in the UN-Headquarters. NARBO Chairperson is one of the HELP members of HELP and has been contributing to the discussion by offering case studies and lessons learnt in Asia. Our concrete contribution is seen in the HELP publications.
