The International Water Association’s 2008 World Water Congress and Exhibition in Vienna offers the global community of water professionals an unparalleled opportunity to experience the very best of water science, research, practice and management from around the world.

This experience starts with your participation in an extraordinary technical programme that ranges from the critical issues of our time – climate change, explosive population growth, a global sanitation crisis and urbanisation – to emerging breakthroughs in biotechnology and the leading-edge of applied research and technology. A regional focus on the Danube, a summit of Europe’s local government leaders and a water utility leaders’ forum add to an already rich technical programme.
