FOREWORD Sustainability is a new discourse aimed at promoting a new strategy in the development of energy, water and environmental (EWE) systems. It is becoming increasingly clear that the quest for sustainable development requires integrating economic, social, cultural, political, and ecological factors. It requires grassroots initiatives, as well as simultaneous consideration of the local and global dimensions, and of the ways by which they interact. It also requires broadening of the space and time horizons to accommodate the need for intra-generational as well as international equity. The behavior and properties of a EWE system arise not merely from the properties of its component elements, but to a large degree also from the nature and intensity of their dynamic interlinkages. It has become evident that the complexity of these problems requires enhancement and deepening of the understanding of the implications of the different aspects of sustainability. Resources, economy and environment are the key components that affect the quality of life on our planet. It has also been recognized that the social aspect, including information exchange, is of fundamental importance in understanding sustainable development. In this respect the 3rd Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems held in 2005 have offered the best opportunity for the dissemination, exchange and promotion of new ideas for interdisciplinary, multi-cultural and multi-criteria evaluation of EWE systems. Consequently, the main objectives of the conference were: • Development of new methods for the analysis and evaluation of EWE systems (such as emergy and exergy analysis, life cycle assessment, ecological footprint, MIPS, etc.). • Analysis of potential scientific and technological processes addressing the interactions between energy, water and environment. • Promotion of a new field of sustainability science that seeks to understand the fundamental character of interactions between EWE systems and society. • Development of inter-disciplinary partnerships bringing together leading experts in physical, life, and environmental sciences, engineering, economics, and social sciences and informatics. • Development of models of energy, water, and environmental systems, and their evaluation. • Enhancement of methodologies for assessing the comparative sustainability of different EWE systems options, taking into account economics, environmental resource use, and social validation. Among the number of the presented papers those which have met the standard of the reviewing procedure adapted for this volume are selected. v vi The Proceedings comprises of the following chapters: • Sustainability Science. • Energy Policy and Planning. • New Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Efficiency. • Energy Cogeneration. • Water Management. • Water Desalination and Treatment. • Environment Assessment and Evaluation. • Environment Managment. The leading articles in each chapter are contributions from important authors in field. It has to be recognized that without support of UNESCO this volume will not be available. In this respect the editors of the Proceedings of the Third Dubrovnik Conference on the Sustainability Development of Energy, Environment and Water Systems are very pleased to express our admiration to the His Excellency Mr. Koichira Matsuura, the Director General of UNESCO for his effort in supporting sustainable development on our planet. The support of European Commission INCO programme, of Hrvatska elektroprivreda d.d. (cid:150) Zagreb and of Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia is acknowledged. The editors of this volume would like to express high appreciation to the Members of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Conference in promotion of the Conference. It is the great pleasure of editors to recognize active role of the Members of International Scientific Committee in promotion and reviewing papers. The authors of the papers deserve high appreciation for their cooperation in the preparation of the manuscript of this volume. It is our obligation to recognize great contribution of the Organizing Committee. Editors: Naim H.
