IWA Lisbon 2014 World Water Congress

The International Water Association World Water Congress 2014 begins Sunday 21 September. I'm attending to participate in the Efficient Urban Water Management Specialist Group meetings as well as the broader programme.  Efficient water management will continue to be essential to meet pressures on water resources from climate change and population growth.

Open Specialist Group Meeting Lisbon 2014 
The Open Efficient SG meeting takes place 13:30 to 15:00 in room 0.06. This is an excellent opportunity for IWA Young Water Professionals to learn more about the group and get involved. Additionally the group will be discussing the 2015 conference in Cincinnati USA and  future strategic programme.
