Adjuntamos información correspondiente al "International Resource Award for Sustainable Watershed Management," presentado por Swiss Re. Se destinará un fondo de US $ 100,000 al ganador.

Swiss Re, one of the world"s leading reinsurers, presented the second
"ReSource Award" at its Centre of Global Dialogue in Zurich, Switzerland, in
April 2004. This annual competition for innovative watershed management projects
carries total prize money of USD 100,000. The ReSource Award for 2004 was
officially launched at the ceremony.






Swiss Re feels that it has a duty to contribute to the development and
implementation of sustainable water management strategies and practices. To
complement other water-related initiatives, the company launched the
International ReSource Award for Sustainable Watershed Management in 2002. The
award actively supports the planning, evaluation and implementation of
water-related projects with the aim of promoting awareness and encouraging the
efficient use of this precious resource. 


The main prize in the 2003 award was given to a land-reform project in
Vietnam; the 2002 award went to a project proposing a financing mechanism to
preserve fragile water resources in Guatemala. The ReSource Award is conferred
on projects selected by a panel of independent international experts in water
management and sustainability.

We are now looking to attract interested parties involved in
watershed management to participate in the 2004 award, and would like to ask for
your support. By placing the attached "banner" on your own "water" website or on
your "Links" page and linking it to www.swissre.com/resource, you will be giving
interested participants direct access to the "ReSource Award"
homepage.

Alternatively, you may prefer just to use the ReSource Award
2004 icon and link it to www.swissre.com/resource. This site
provides all the information needed by participants including deadlines, names
of the members of the international panel of patrons (who recognise the valuable
contribution made by the award) and the international jury, deliverables, the

We would like to thank you for supporting the contribution
being made to sustainable watershed management and would appreciate a short

Yours
sincerely,
