The World Water Week in Stockholm is the leading annual global meeting place for the world's diverse water community and will include experts from more than 100 countries. Representatives of business, civil society, governmental, inter-governmental, science and water management sectors will participate at the meet from August 21-27, 2005.

SIWI is pleased to announce that worldwaterweek.org has been completely updated with the latest programme details for the 2005 World Water Week in Stockholm, August 21-27. In addition, registration is now open.

Experts from business, government, water management, science, inter-governmental organisations, non-governmental organisations and United Nations agencies and programmes have made the World Water Week in Stockholm more than a regular stop on the development agenda. It has become a critical conjuncture in ongoing processes, a forum for innovation and a beacon for keeping water and related development issues high on the international agenda.

And what a World Water Week in Stockholm it is shaping up to be. A record number of independently organised seminars and side events have been planned by collaborating partners. The week’s Stockholm Water Symposium, “Drainage Basin Management – Hard and Soft Solutions in Regional Development” has through the abstract process seen its programme grow to one of unprecedented strength and diversity. Workshops will examine issues such as infrastructure, climate variability and water efficiency in the industrial and agricultural sectors.
