Workshop 2: The Future of Seawater Desalination: Innovations in Desalting and Brine Management (Co-organized with Gary Amy and Jonathan Clement)
The current state-of-the-art in seawater desalination is standard pretreatment, single-stage seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) with a recovery of about 50 %, and brine disposal by an outfall diffuser, with challenges identified in the operation of conventional SWRO. High energy consumption by SWRO has led to innovations in membrane materials and process configurations. In addition, there is increasing interest in valorisation of SWRO brines and concomitant recovery of valuable materials to contribute to the circular economy. In this workshop, high level speakers from industry and academic researchers will share their expertise on SWRO pre-treatment innovations, SWRO materials and processes innovations, and valorisation of SWRO brines and valuable materials recovery. Selected industry panelists will then share their innovations in desalination membrane and processes followed by panel discussion on the future of seawater desalination.

Workshop 3: Sustainable Wastewater Management in Developing Countries: An Innovative Indian Approach in River Rejuvenation
Developing countries have enormous challenges yet with increasing role in Global Leadership, India is committed towards meeting UN’s SDGs particularly SDG 6 in all respect. It is with this focussed approach, the first Governance challenge was met when Govt. of India in 2014-2015 launched ‘Namami Gange’ (Clean Ganga), a flagship programme under Ministry of Jal Shakti, (erstwhile Ministry of Water Resources) for protection, conservation, and rejuvenation of River Ganga and its tributaries. The dedicated efforts of NMCG, Government of India and active stakeholder engagement has led to the identification of governance issues and technological challenges which hindered the Indian wastewater sector. Subsequently, innovative methods were developed which not only mitigated the problem of pollution created through domestic sewage and industrial effluents but also ushered in a paradigm shift in the water sector. NMCG also extensively worked on other components such as, solid and liquid waste management, restoring biodiversity, afforestation, wetland conservation, river and people connect etc. to holistically rejuvenate the entire riverine ecosystem. In this workshop, speaker presentations from NMCG, GoI and allied partners will share experiences on effective and efficient wastewater management in Indian context. The panellists from other developed and developing countries will share their viewpoint on the Indian experience and through this discussion, various other countries may also derive inspiration from the work and models adopted by India.

Workshop 5: Reduction, Reuse and Recycling of Domestic Water – Benefits, Health Risks, and Consumers’ Inclusivity
Across the world, consumers demand 24/7 access to safe, wholesome and aesthetically pleasing water. However, behavioural changes to become “greener”, population growth, climate change, emergence of new chemicals and increasing scarcity of quality water sources have led to adaptations made to the water distribution infrastructure and management, including of internal and community water systems. Ideas that were once “on the fringe” (e.g. rainwater harvesting) have become mainstream options. The awareness required of consumers and practitioners in this evolving context, to ensure public health is not adversely impacted, has not kept pace with the changes in the way water in homes, communities and public buildings is delivered. The end users/consumers seem least represented in conversations about water and yet they must be included if they are to become aware of the impacts of their water use behaviours. Public confidence in water supplies is essential and access to safe water is a fundamental human right. However, it is consumed with little awareness and consideration of the health risks and benefits. This workshop will discuss the health dimensions of reducing domestic water use and re-using and recycling water for safe consumptions, the evolution of standards and good practice in plumbing to protect health and the importance of consumer inclusivity in balancing risks and benefits in the water sector’s efforts to achieve universal access against the backdrop of growing constraints.

Singapore International Water Week 2022 returns as an in-person event from 17 to 21 April 2022 at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore, along with a virtual on-demand component for participants who are unable to travel to Singapore.
On behalf of the Programme Committee, we extend a warm invitation to you to join us at the Water Convention, one of the flagship programmes of SIWW2022.
In response to the Call for Papers, we received over 350 high quality papers from 42 countries in the short span of 12 weeks. We are grateful by the strong show of support from the international water community to the Call, despite the uncertainties and challenges posed by the on-gong pandemic. Many papers of exceptional quality were received and after a careful review of all the papers, the Programme Committee has put together a quality Water Convention programme, which we believe is the very best yet.
To ensure the knowledge presented at the Water Convention keep abreast with the latest challenges and trends facing the urban water profession, we have included a new theme on Nexus and Circularity in this year’s Water Convention, alongside other traditional themes in water distribution, water treatment, wastewater management, water quality and health, and cities of the future. We hope this theme will add a new dimension to the discussions, as the water sector places increasing emphasis on circular resource management and sustainability.
Besides the technical oral and poster sessions, delegates to the Water Convention can look forward to the popular Hot Issues Workshops, where we hope to stimulate open discussion on hot issues, such as digital transformation of the water sector, future of seawater desalination, sustainable wastewater management, coastal revitalisation, consumer aspects in reuse and recycling of domestic water and carbon circularity.
As the Water Convention enters its 9th edition, we remain confident that it continues to serve as one of the leading platforms for the open sharing of technology, innovation, and best practices in urban water management. We wish to thank the continued support of the International Water Association as the co-organiser, as well as the many water experts who have contributed their time as Programme Committee members, abstract reviewers, session co-chairs and invited speakers.
We look forward to seeing you in Singapore as a delegate. Should you be unable to travel to Singapore due to travel restrictions, do consider joining us as a virtual participant to get the opportunity to catch the Convention workshops and sessions on-demand.
Together, let us work towards our shared goal of building a better water future for all.

PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency
PUB is a statutory board under the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE). It is the national water agency, which manages Singapore’s water supply, water catchment, and used water in an integrated way. From April 2020, PUB also took on the responsibility of protecting Singapore’s coastline from sea-level rise as the national coastal protection agency.
PUB has ensured a diversified and sustainable supply of water for Singapore with the Four National Taps (local catchment water, imported water, NEWater, desalinated water). PUB leads and coordinates whole-of-government efforts to protect Singapore from the threat of rising seas and the holistic management of inland and coastal flood risks.
PUB calls on everyone to play a part in conserving water, in keeping our waterways clean, and in caring for Singapore’s precious water resources. If we all do our little bit, there will be enough water for all our needs – for commerce and industry, for living, for life.
