About the Congress

The world needs clean water now. The compounding factors of population growth, escalating industrial water requirements, and the ominous specter of rising global temperatures exacerbate the condition of water security worldwide.

This congress is strategically designed to pave the way to a more secure water future by delving into various technical and business topics that revolve around innovative desalination and water reuse solutions. 

We look forward to your active participation!
