Feeding the water
The Living Water Exchange is a GEF/UNDP project established to promote nutrient reduction practices in the EECCA region (Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia), implemented by the Global Environmental Technology Foundation in partnership with the Regional Environmental Center (REC), REC Moldova, REC Caucasus and CAREC between November 2009 and December 2010. A number of demonstration projects and peer-to-peer exchanges were carried out in September and October 2010 to help facilitate this goal. The results of one such project, titled 'Best Practices of Fertilizers Reduction from Agricultural Lands in the Upper Tisza Basin, Ukraine', were discussed during a lively, informative peer-to-peer exchange October 25-28 in Uzhgorod, Ukraine. Approximately 35 participants - hailing from Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan and elsewhere - also had the opportunity to make site visits in west Zarkarpattya Oblast to see what the project team has accomplished thus far.
