IWA Conference on Efficient Urban Water Management September 2023 | Bordeaux, France

Urban water professionals are facing unprecedented pressures. Customers demand ever-higher standards of water and sanitation services, regulators impose stricter directives, and shareholders seek better returns from massive infrastructure investments. On top of that, ecological pressures compel water managers to prioritize adaptability and sustainability. Faced with increasingly complex challenges, and growing threats like the 2020 covid-19 crisis, how can urban water and wastewater professionals continue to ensure efficiency?

In its continuous search for solutions, the International Water Association (IWA) Specialist Group for Efficient Urban Water Management will bring the 11th biennial IWA Efficient Conference to Bordeaux, France, in association with IFTS (Institut de la Filtration et des Techniques Séparatives – www.ifts-sls.com ). On 13 – 15 September, 2023, the conference will bring together a high-calibre urban water and wastewater professionals to reflect on shared challenges and to promote efficient solutions.
