With increasing global water consumption, the challenges facing the water and energy industry worldwide have never been greater. Our growing understanding of the impacts of climate change and rapidly expanding urban populations are the two most significant factors that have added greater urgency to the search for innovative, pragmatic and sustainable solutions for saving water and coping with increasing water demand.
Today, issues affecting drinking water, waste water treatment, storm water risk management and energy use resonate as loudly in industrialised economies as they do in less wealthy regions of the world. It is estimated that OECD nations need to invest at least US $200 billion per year to saving water by replacing leaking and decaying infrastructure and safeguard existing water quality thresholds.
The search for integrated sustainable solutions to cope with water demand can only be achieved by adopting an approach which crosses national and professional boundaries and brings together practitioners, scientists, regulators, consultants, manufacturers, NGOs and financiers to engage in an international exchange of information and expertise which leads to collaborative action in tackling these problems.
