INTERNATIONAL WATER SUMMIT 2016

January 18-21

The International Water Summit (IWS) is the leading global meeting point for showcasing and developing solutions for water sustainability in arid regions. Over four days in January 2015, IWS brought together government leaders, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, technologists, policymakers and thousands of trade visitors to rise to the severe challenges faced by water-scarce areas.

Arabian Gulf countries already have the highest per capita consumption of domestic water in the world and its demand is expected to double in the next two decades, further adding to water stress. So there’s no better time or better place to grow.

This year’s summit is expected to be another excellent platform for business leaders, activists, and other trade professionals in municipal water, industrial water or water for real estate to network and to discuss innovations and best industry practices.
