The IWA Regional Conference on Water Reuse in Water Scarce Countries will address the problem of water scarcity and water reuse possibilities in water scarce countries. Water scarcity affects over 2 billion people in the world. The most threatened countries by water scarcity are in the Middle East. Turkey, a Middle Eastern country and in a typical Mediterranean area, is not a water rich country in terms of existing water potential. With the present water potential and sectoral water use rates, Turkey should perform key administrative and technical regulations in the coming years in the reuse of treated wastewater area.

The conference will host prominent authorities in critical topics such as water reuse in water scarce countries, high tech and low tech solutions for water reuse, water reclamation, semiarid regions, public perceptions, regulations and guidelines.

The conference will also offer opportunities for technical and touristic visits.
