As the pressures of population growth, urban development, and climate change continue to deplete naturally available water resources, GCC and MENA governments are investing billions of dollars into creating alternative water supplies, improve water usage efficiencies, and diversify water resources.

The inaugural Future of Water Summit will examine a variety of topics in the water utilities space, ranging from improving and developing desalination technology, through to the construction of dams and water canals to boost capacities and manage collection of both ground and rainwater supplies.

Furthermore, the FOW Summit will bring together leading experts to share insights and information on a variety of topics, including the improvement, management, and rejuvenation of existing resources through technology, and the investment in wastewater treatment to support water sustainability.

The summit will focus on three key themes:

• Investing in water and wastewater sustainability initiatives
• Building and improving desalination plants across the GCC
• Utilising technology to improve water efficiency
