This
year, COVID-19 creates one of the biggest global crisis on both human and
socio-economic aspects. As a world association focusing on protecting our
natural resources, we understand the importance of water and soil resources in
supporting our society during and after this pandemic. We invited WASWAC
councilors, advisors, and all members to express their thoughts, opinions, and
recommendations about WASWAC development strategies, activities etc. in the
post-COVID-19 time. So far, many positive responses have been received,
including contributions from the following councilors and advisors:
Prof.
José Luis Rubio: A moment for change: soil conservation is investment, not
expense
Prof. Ildefonso Pla Sentís: Food
and water supply under COVID-19: Role of soil and water management and conservation
Prof. Carmelo Dazzi: Updating the
soil paradigm to go through the post COVID-19 world economy
Prof. Seyed Hamidreza Sadeghi: Post COVID-19
perceptions for soil and water resources conservation
Prof. Surinder Singh Kukal: Nature’s front line
demonstration: better air and water quality
Prof. Rattan Lal: COVID-19:
The world is one family
Prof. Miodrag Zlatic: A moment to go forward

We are looking forward to have more thoughts,
opinions, and recommendations!
