SIWW Workshop on "New Concepts in Integrated Management of the Urban Water Cycle
During the Singapore International Water Week, a workshop is being organized on state-of-the-art concepts in urban water management and adaptation/technology transfer of these concepts to regional mega-cities. A specific focus of the workshop will be on the successes and future plans of Singapore as a model for developing countries/countries in transition in the region of Asia and mega-cities such as Jakarta, Manila, and Bangkok. The workshop topics will span technologies, infrastructure, modeling, integration, alternative sources/reuse, technology transfer, and economic/financial aspects. Senior-level participants are being invited from regional Asia countries (including Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia etc) plus invited participants from PUB, the Singapore water industry, and other global water companies active in the region. The workshop is being coordinated with other SIWW events involving complimentary concepts (e.g., the SIWW track on Cities of the Future). A further intent of the workshop is to provide networking opportunities between participants from developing countries/countries in transition and participants from developed countries, with formulation of a follow-up plan for knowledge dissemination and training.
