The World Lake Conference was first held in 1984 at Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Since then, it has been held biennially in wide-ranging locations including the United States, Hungary, China, Italy, Japan, Argentina, Denmark, Kenya and India. Established in 1986 as an international NGO collaborating with UNEP, ILEC has worked with host organizations in these countries and has been able to make important contributions to promoting scientific approaches in lake basin management, particularly for improving the state of lake environments in developing countries.
