From the Water Institute of Southern Africa website:
Water is everyone’s business, hence everyone should be involved in ensuring we have water security. WISA conferences provide a platform to discuss problems and solutions facing the water and related sectors. It is time to create mechanisms and collaborations, to ensure an enabling environment to set us on a path of implementation and impact.
This is more important now than ever with issues of climate change, weather variability, demand growth, infrastructure needs, etc. The conference theme and its sub-themes will encompass the sector as a whole and will consider the broader impacts of water on society and the environment.
