Since 1973, IWRA has held a World Water Congress every two to three years in various locations around the world. The Congress is the largest event linking water researchers and policy practitioners in the world.
The objective of the World Water Congress is to provide a meeting place to share experiences, promote discussion, and present new knowledge, research results, and new developments in the field of water sciences around the world. For almost four decades the World Water Congresses have been excellent events for the identification of major global themes concerning the water agenda, and for the bringing together of a large cross-section of stakeholders for the development and implementation of decisions in the field of water.
