According to the Second United Nations World Water Development Report, if present levels of consumption, population growth and rural to urban migration continue, two-thirds of the global population will face a lack of water. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in areas of water stress and 1.4 billion people living in river basins where their use of water exceeds minimum recharge levels, leading to desiccation of rivers and the depletion of groundwater. Increasing human demand for water coupled with the effects of climate change mean that the future of our water supply is not secure. The changes in human lifestyle and activities require more water per capita, and this tightens the competition for water amongst agricultural, industrial, and human consumption.

 

Governments cannot afford to take the back seat when it comes to securing their water supplies for the future. Effectively managing and protecting water resources, investing in new water infrastructure projects, reducing non-revenue water, driving efficiency and change into their utilities have become crucial aspects to deliver the water required by their people this century.

 

The Water Congress – APAC Series focuses on delivering both global and regional perspectives to the participants, bringing in expert speakers from both industry and governments and involving them in interactive panel discussions which aim to enable participants to seek an answer to their most pressing questions.
