Securing sustainable water resources through effective demand management and alternative water resource development methods and techniques

Available sustainable water resources per capita in the MENA region are among the lowest in the world. Due to the rapid increase of population, climate change and lack of fresh water resources, managing water demand is crucial. Therefore, different water management methods and technologies are being explored to seek alternative water resources and re-use wastewater.

IQPC’s Water Tech 2011, taking place between 24 and 27 April 2011 in Le Royal Méridien, Abu Dhabi will provide a platform to discuss water resource and demand management challenges and uncover the latest solutions with leaders in the industry. Whether you are aiming to manage water demand, explore alternative water resources, apply the latest technologies, and develop groundwater or leverage financial investment for long-term water projects, Water Tech 2011 is a must attend for you!
