Dear Dr. Kassam,

The 1st International Conference on Water Security will be held in Toronto, Canada from 17-20 June 2018.

This conference will allow academics, thinkers and practitioners from around the world to present, discuss and highlight the key issues and directions from a scientific perspective, including data needs, and how data can be acquired, successful public and private sector business models in different settings, and what the knowledge gaps are. The conference provides a forum for in-person meetings to complement the journal Water Security, which focuses on review and synthesis articles covering the field.

Oral, poster and workshop abstracts are invited on the following conference topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.

Topics:

  • Regional themes: an integrated assessment of threats to and progress towards water security in key regions (possible regions: High Mountain - Andes, Himalaya-Hindukush, Central Asia, Tibet, Alps & Rocky Mountains; S. Asia; SE. & E. Asia; Africa; Island States; Latin and Central America)
  • Institutions, infrastructure, economics and water governance as vehicles to achieve water security
  • The science of integrated water management (smart watersheds, water services, environmental flows, legacies, collaborative governance, BMPs)
  • Climate, renewable energy, economic development and demographic change: challenges or opportunities for regional water security
  • "One Water" as a pathway to urban water security: can the Singapore experience be scaled globally?
  • Technological innovation and big data for water security: emerging directions and prospects
  • Indigenous knowledge systems and perspectives in water security
Submit your abstract here

Accepted submissions will supplement presentations from our invited speakers. In addition, we plan to have workshops to further promote scientific interaction. Attendance will be limited for the workshops (places on each workshop are available on a first-come, first-served basis and attendees must be registered for the conference prior to booking their place), so that we can nurture effective participation with the goal of ending up with tangible ideas to synthesize and report at the end of the meeting. These ideas will be circulated broadly through the journal as well.

We welcome your participation and hope you will contribute to the programme.
