The Congress promotes international cooperation and research exchanges in the field of environmentally sustainable water resources management. The aim of the Congress is to discuss innovation in water sciences to address current and future challenges and to assist in improving the capacity of countries to mitigate and adapt to climate change and new water related hazards.

The Congress intends to be a global forum for scientists and engineers from diverse countries and cultures, who will interact, exploring ways and strategies to face global and regional challenges on water resources and ecosystems.

A wide range of cutting-edge topics will be presented and discussed in Congress, encompassing the most crucial aspects of Water Resources Management and Environment on a global scale.
