IWA Tokyo 2018: key event for Watershare

On 16-21 September the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition will be held in Tokyo. Watershare will be present on that important international podium of the water sector.

In 2012 we launched Watershare at the IWA Congress & Exhibition in Busan, South Korea. In 2014, Watershare was principal sponsor of the IWA Congress in Lisbon, and at the 2016 IWA Congress in Brisbane the first Watershare CoPs were introduced. This year in Tokyo, the focus will be entirely on the five CoP themes:

  1. Subsurface Water Solutions
  2. Emerging Substances
  3. Future-Proof Water Infrastructures
  4. Resource Recovery & Upcycling
  5. Resilient Urban Water Management

Watershare’s 2018 contribution consists of a stand – in the familiar Watershare green-white house style – and a large number of workshops and presentations by Watershare members in the congress (see details in the table below).

The Watershare stand provides a platform for all members and CoPs to show their work on the Watershare themes and to meet other water sector professionals from all over the world. Besides its stand and congress activities, Watershare will organise a couple of side events, about which we will keep you posted.
