Natural Resources: Energy, Water and River Basin Development. Volume I

Abstract

This collection of papers derives from an undertaking unique in the history of international cooperation. In the spirit of the United Nations Decade of Development, delegations from all the member countries of the United Nations were invited to gather in Geneva, in February 1963, for a conference on the Application of Science and Technology for the Benefit of the Less Developed Areas. The purpose was to discuss, from the viewpoints of the scientist, the technical specialist, the planner, and the policy-maker, the many problems confronting the millions of people whose ways of life are being altered by social, political, and economic change.
