CALL FOR PAPERS till the 30th of September: Extreme weather events like severe droughts and floods are increasingly affecting the world, underscoring the urgent need of addressing the effects of climate change. This global crisis poses significant threats to both to water and food security, particularly as temperatures rise and agriculture's demand for water intensifies. Rivers are drying up, aquifers are not recharging adequately, and coastal areas are experiencing higher salinity and rising sea levels, putting immense pressure on the global water management systems. Farmers struggle to maintain their crops, while city residents worry about the stability of their food supply. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the International Conference: Water and Food Security in the Face of Climate Change: Challenges and […]
Our title for the forthcoming online conference is Water and Climate Resilience, recognising that the world faces a future that is uncertain as we face the global challenge of reducing the impact the changing climate has on the water sector.

This year – 2024 – marks a decade of Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), the Government of India's flagship programme to improve sanitation. While Phase I focused on the elimination of open defecation through construction of house-hold and community toilets, SBM 2.0, launched in 2021, seeks a more complete approach to liquid waste management. It stresses that “all faecal sludge and waste(used) water are safely contained, transported, processed and disposed of, so that no untreated faecal sludge or used water pollutes the ground or water bodies”.
This webinar cuts across different IWA’s initiatives, programmes and communities. It is jointly organised by IWA’s Inclusive Urban Sanitation Initiative in collaboration with the United Nations Human Settlement Programme (UN-Habitat). UN-Habitat’s vision is “a better quality of life for all in an urbanizing world”. UN-Habitat is implementing the “Scaling Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Systems (CWIS)” Project which aims to ensure everyone benefits from safely managed sanitation. The Global Report on Sanitation and Wastewater Management in Cities and Human Settlements is one of the main deliverables of the project. It provides a global reference on wastewater and faecal sludge management in urban settings. During the webinar, UN-Habitat will present 4 case studies from Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Nakuru (Kenya), and Hanoi (Vietnam) from the report, to illustrate specific challenges […]

This webinar cuts across different IWA’s initiatives, programmes and communities. It is being led by the IWA’s Inclusive Urban Sanitation Initiative and the Water Policy and Regulation Agenda, in collaboration with the Center for Water and Sanitation, CRDF, CEPT University, and WHO. According to the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP), as of 2022, global usage of on-site sanitation stands at 46%, surpassing sewer connections at 42%. However, the prevalence of safely managed sanitation services is notably higher among households with sewer connections (33%) compared to those relying on on-site facilities (24%). Unfortunately, current data inadequacies prevent the estimation of regional or global proportions of individuals utilising on-site sanitation facilities with excreta emptied and treated off-site. It is imperative to strengthen local data systems to monitor progress accurately and […]
Naturally clean, pure water is largely the stuff of dreams in today’s world. We take recourse to mechanically cleaning the water that we use for drinking and cooking – through reverse osmosis (RO). But RO systems have a flip side: along with eliminating contaminants, they also remove essential minerals from water. Experts warn that RO water with dangerously low levels of mineral content can affect one’s health: it can lead to micronutrient deficiency, joint pain and even cardiovascular ailments On the eve of World Water Day, join us to understand if RO is really a need or just a marketing gimmick.
