Global Conference on Water and Wastewater Innovation, Management and Sustainability
The Global Conference on Water and Wastewater Innovation, Management and Sustainability (WWIMS) addresses the urgent need for sustainable solutions in water and wastewater management, particularly in light of rapid urbanization, industrialization, and climate change impacts. The conference supports the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially:
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 13: Climate Action
WWIMS serves as a platform for sharing pioneering research, technologies, policy interventions, and sustainable practices that drive global progress in water and wastewater management.
Key thematic areas of the conference include:
- Smart Water Infrastructure and Transportation: Exploring intelligent water transportation systems that leverage IoT, AI, and real-time analytics to reduce waste, energy consumption, and costs.
- Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technologies: Emphasizing emerging treatment methods, such as membrane bioreactors and electrochemical processes, that enhance wastewater recovery for reuse.
- Sustainable Urban Water Management: Examining green infrastructure, nature-based solutions, and resilient urban water systems to support sustainable city planning.
- Circular Economy in Water Management: Investigating how wastewater can serve as a resource for agriculture, industry, and communities, moving towards closed-loop systems that recover valuable resources from waste.
- Policy and Governance for Sustainable Water Management: Focusing on cross-sectoral collaboration, innovative policy frameworks, and successful case studies in public-private partnerships for water management.
- Climate Resilience in Water Systems: Developing robust strategies to ensure water system reliability and adaptability in the face of climate variability, including flood and drought management.
