1 PREFACE
The Umbria Scientific Meeting Association (USMA) and the International Lake Environment Committee
Foundation (ILEC) will co-sponsor the 15th World Lake Conference in Perugia, Italy from September 1 to 5,
2014. The Conference will provide a multidisciplinary international forum for the exchange of knowledge
and experiences on important lake and reservoir science, management and governance issues.
This Second Announcement includes the latest updates on the conference organization with respect totechnical sessions and side event programs, as well as information on the conference venues, registration
procedure and fees, hotel arrangements, etc. The expected conference participants are those frominternational, national and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, andprivate sector organizations specializing in a wide range of water and environmental resource management,
as well as those from citizen groups and other stakeholder organizations, both from developed anddeveloping countries.

2 CONFERENCE THEME AND OBJECTIVES
Lakes, both natural and artificial (reservoirs) are vital and strategic resources for life on our planet. At thesame time, they are also highly vulnerable to human activities, especially if they are not properly preserved
and used in a sustainable manner. These natural resources and their ecosystems have defined borders,
while at the same time being strongly influenced by where they are located. Although there is a geographic
limit between a lake ecosystem and its neighboring ecosystems, lakes are heavily influenced by thesubstances entering them in their incoming waters. Moreover, lakes are very complex systems influenced
by many different factors, major ones being the materials dissolved in their waters, the climate of theregion, energy exchanges with the atmosphere, the soil and the variety of organisms inhabiting them, all ofwhich are influenced by, and also influence, the lake system itself. This complexity means that when a lake
is studied on the basis of a single discipline, it can often lead to misleading conclusions, or even incorrect
results.
Thus, the continuing scope of this World Lake Conference is to again bring together experts coming fromdiverse fields pertaining lake environments and habitats, with the underlying goal of establishing a basis fordeveloping multidisciplinary solutions to multidisciplinary issues. Further, although multidisciplinary is a
keyword in regard to this conference, different approaches and points of view also must be taken into
account to address complex lake issues. A central theme is, in fact, the recent research and scientificapplications about governance and technical sample cases carried out according to the Integrated Lake
Basin Management (ILBM) approach.
Therefore, we are inviting not only scientists, but also resource managers, politicians, and lake basinstakeholders and users to the conference. The interactions among this diverse audience will result in a
wider discussion, with the goal of connecting a top-down approach to a bottom-up perspective to solving
complex lake basin issues. Moreover, this event also would likely have a strong influence on young
generations of researchers, managers and lake users, launching different didactic experiences specificallyfor children and graduate students, and teach them how to focus on world lake issues and how to connect
with others in a worldwide study network.

10 CONFERENCE VENUE
Perugia is the capital of the Province of Perugia and the
Umbria Region, being located in central Italy. The town
is of Etruscan origin and contains more than 160,000
inhabitants.
The Acropolis of Perugia (about 490 m a.s.l.) is built on
two contiguous hills: the Collina del Sole and theCollina Landone and was selected by the Etruscansbecause of its rich water environment.
The oldest urban center is enclosed by walls datingfrom the 3rd Century B. C., that are themselves
incorporated into a medieval fortification (14th Century).
The latter fortification encompasses the fivevillages (or districts) that have developed along
the five main hill ridges towards the surrounding
suburbs. This expansion took place in five
directions, corresponding to the five Etruscan
doors and has given the city a stellar shape that
Renaissance architect Leon Battista Alberti
compared to the fingers of a hand.
Its rich history is well represented by the works
of art housed in the most representative cities,
and the numerous monuments that characterize
the urban profile of its historic center. Amongthese monuments is first and foremost the
Fontana Maggiore, built in the 13th Century. after construction of the aqueduct through which water waschanneled to the center of the city, and which is still accessible today. In the same Piazza IV November isthe Cathedral of San Lorenzo, which was completed
during the 15th Century. The Palazzo dei Priori built
between the 14th and 16th Century, is now the Town Hall of
the Municipality of Perugia, and hosts the superintendenceof cultural and ethno-anthropological heritage of the Umbria
Region. The Palazzo dei Priori also contains the National
Gallery of Umbria, the region's most important museum,
and where visitors can admire works of artists such as
Pinturicchio, Perugino, Pietro della Francesca, Gentile da
Fabriano, and other work of arts covering a time span
between the 13th and 19th Century.
Among the many other architectural works worthy ofmention is Rocca Paolina, a fortress built by Pope Paul III in
1540, at the end of the Salt War, in which Perugia fought
against the Papal State imposing taxes on the importation ofmarine salt. Only one wing remains of this monumentalbuilding, designed by Sangallo the Young, one of the greatest
military engineers of the 16th Century. The area under thebuilding, the major underground citadel, is still accessible,

12

WLC15 Perugia - Second Announcement
however, having become one of the symbols of the city. It is now crossed by a path of escalators leadingfrom the main bus terminal up to the city center.
Perugia is the home of one of the oldest universities in Italy, founded in 1308, as attested by the Bull issued
by Pope Clement V certifying the birth of the Studium Generale. In addition to the University of Perugia
is the University for Foreigners, founded in 1925, being the oldest university in Italy addressed toforeigners, and which specializes in the teaching and diffusion of the Italian language and culture
worldwide.
In this highly suggestive scenario, and rich history, art and science surroundings, many cultural activities
take place, making Perugia one of the most dynamic and attractive Italian cities. The best globally-known
initiatives range from international music festivals ( Umbria Jazz) to promotion of economic activities andcrafts (Umbria Books), and from local confectionery production (Eurochocolate) to large conferences in
the field of media and information (International Journalism Festival), architecture (FestArch) andscience (Perugia Science Fest).
Umbria is also known as the Green heart of Italy with interesting surrounding towns and villages and inparticular:
Assisi: Assisi is a town and comune of Italy in the province of
Perugia in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Monte
Subasio. It was the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded theFranciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare(Chiara d'Offreducci), the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later
became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. The 19thcentury Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was also born inAssisi. UNESCO collectively designated the Franciscan structuresof Assisi as a World Heritage Site in 2000.
Gubbio: Gubbio is a town and comune in the far
northeastern part of the Italian province of
Perugia. The historical centre of Gubbio has a
decidedly medieval aspect: the town is austere
in appearance because of the dark grey stone,
narrow streets, and Gothic architecture. Many
houses in central Gubbio date to the 14th and15th centuries, and were originally the dwellingsof wealthy merchants.
