Novatech 2001 Conference in France
Stresses Sustainable Urban Development
by
Ben Urbonas, P.E.
In 1998, I had the pleasure to participate at Novatech 98 conference held in Lyon,
France. This is a major international conference held every three years. As the name
implies, its purpose was to exchange information on new and emerging technologies in
stormwater management. The next one will take place mid-May, 2001 and will stress the
topic of sustainable urban development in terms of stormwater issues.
Anyone interested in an outstanding international venue on stormwater technical issues
is encouraged to attending. All sessions have simultaneous translation from French to
English and vice versa. The program and the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with
professional colleagues in other countries are outstanding. You will not regret the trip.
Since it takes time to come up with the resources to pay for this type of a conference, I
suggest you start panning for it now. A major fringe benefit can be had if you extend your
stay for a tour of the French countryside in the Provance or the Burgundy regions.
